File system not mounting

Hi all,

Some file systems which is already listed in /etc/fstab are not mounting automatically when system boots.
When I gave 'mountall' after system is booted up, it gave the following error.

mountall: cannot mount /dev/vg01/lvol42
mountall: diagnostics from mount
vxfs mount: option not supported on this version of vxfs.
mountall: cannot mount /dev/vg01/lvol43
mountall: cannot mount /dev/vg01/lvol44
mountall: cannot mount /dev/vg01/lvol9
mountall: diagnostics from mount
vxfs mount: option not supported on this version of vxfs.

But I can able to mount it manually.

Please find below the corresponding lines in fstab for the filesystems listed above.

/dev/vg01/lvol42 /tntbhhome/dat vxfs log,mincache=dsync,blkclear,nodatainlog,largefiles,rw,suid 0 2
/dev/vg01/lvol43 /tntbhhome/dat/arch vxfs rw,suid,delaylog,datainlog 0 2
/dev/vg01/lvol44 /tntbhhome/dat/NBBarch vxfs rw,suid,delaylog,datainlog 0 2
/dev/vg01/lvol9 /relbhdb vxfs log,mincache=dsync,blkclear,nodatainlog,largefiles,rw,suid 0 2

Can anybody tell me which options are not supported...?

Thanx in advance..

Ajith.

Re: File system not mounting

Hi:

The key error seems to be "vxfs mount: option not supported on this version of vxfs".

Did you import a volume group from another server and then mount the logical volumes with their filesystems after modifying '/etc/fstab'? If so, what is the filesystem layout version?

# mkfs -F vxfs -m /dev/vg01/lvol42

What is your operating system version and your JFS version?

Regards!

Re: File system not mounting

Hi (again):

Another very likely possibility is that your OnlineJFS license has expired because it was released (erroneously) as a "demo" license.

To use 'mincache=dsync' you need OnlineJFS.

See this thread for the details:

Re: File system not mounting

What about vxenable -a in the inittab?

He has 2 fs where there are no options listed but the fs wont mount.

but OnlineJFS maybe invalid as well...

Re: File system not mounting

Hi:

...for that matter, too, 'detainlog' also requires OnlineJFS. I am sure that your OnlineJFS license has expired as I noted, above.

Hi Gurus,

Thanx for your valuable feedback.
I could find that the license for OnlineJFS is expired.

HP-UX version is 11.11 - MCOE

Online JFS is installed as a part of MCOE.
At the moment I dont have the latest MCOE for 11.11 (The one I have is Dec 2004)

How can I fix this issue...?

Re: File system not mounting

Usually you get the error after you reboot system after 24Jun2007. This is known issue and will be fix by later Online JFS version.

You can temporary mount manually without using any options indicated in your /etc/fstab.
