File systems not mounting

[ramesh_6]

Hi I booted my system in single user mode and tried to mount all the file systems and i when i issue the mountall command i get the following output.

All your help is highly appreciated.

Hi Ramesh,

It look like there are some problems with your file systems. Did you shutdown the system properly ?

Now, you can do 'fsck' on all these filesystems inorder to get rid of these errors:

# fsck

Once fscked, then activate each VG (because you are in single user mode) and give mount -a command. That may solve your problem.

HTH,

Hi Ramesh,

Do the vg02 & vg03 dirs exist under /dev?
Do they contain the group & lvol files?

Rgds,
Jeff

[Patrick Wallek · Accepted solution]

Did you activate the volume groups before you tried the 'mountall'?

Try this:

# vgchange -a y vg00
# vgchange -a y vg01
# vgchange -a y vg02
# vgchange -a y vg03
# mountall

Now what happens?

It looks as if none of the volume groups are activated except may be vg00 , was there are ny error messages in teh startup , do a fsck on /dev/vg00/rlvol* and mount all the partions in vg00 first . Then manually try to doa vgdisplay on each volume groups to get moer inforamtion . Most like it is either to do with the disks detection external ones , or the env of root ( default shell of root should not be ksh ) is not proper as it is not bringing up the system properly.

You have to run fsck for all the filesystem.
#fsck
After that run
#vgchange -a y
#mount -a

Hi Ramesh you have to do following.

#fsck -y
#vgchange -a y /dev/vg01
#vgchange -a y /dev/vg02

"
"

and so on for all vgs.

Then

#mount -a

I think you are then fine.
