error with fsadm (option -o largefiles)

[Andrea_97]

A vxfs filesystem, must be modify with the option -o largefile in the version 10.20.

The disk layout is 3 (verified by the command vxupgrade)
Using the command fsadm -o largefile
appear the error:

is not the root inode of a vxfs filesystem, while in /etc/fstab is so defined.
A check of the filesystem was also perfomed.
Please, can you help me?

Thank you for your attention!

Hi Davitti,

Try this.

example.

/dev/vg01/lvol4 614400 11027 565667 2% /app/oracle/dbappl
# fsadm -o largefiles /dev/vg01/lvol4
vxfs fsadm: /dev/vg01/lvol4 is not the root inode of a vxfs file sytem
# umount /app/oracle/dbappl
# fsadm -o largefiles /dev/vg01/rlvol4
# mount /app/oracle/dbappl
# fsadm /dev/vg01/rlvol4
nomultifsets
largefiles

Hope this helps,

Use the name of the mount point, not the name of the LV.

fsadm -o largefiles /

[Geoff Wild]

It has to be the mount point...

IE:

fsadm -o largefiles /var/adm/crash

Make sure you modify parameters in /etc/fstab after as well!

Thanks to Robert-Jan, RickGarland and Geoffwild that kindly answered to my question.

I have done some tests and it seems all right!
The solution was to call the command fsadm on the "rlvol" logical name an not with the
"lvol" one.
Infact giving:
fsadm -o largefile /dev/vg00/rlvol9 there is'nt the mistake and the new option appear in the f.s. as Robert-Jan told!

So Robert-Jan has resolved the problem but also RickGarland and Geoffwild got me interesting ideas for tests.
Sorry for my english!
Best regards to everyone
