fsadm -b error

Hi,

I get an error when using fsadm -F vxfs -b /tmp

vxfs fsadm: filesystem /opt doesn't match filesystem super-block on /dev/vg00/rlvol5
vxfs fsadm: use [-r] to specify a raw device

Whats my problem ?

Are you trying to run the fsadm command as a non-root user ? It must run as root.
Im from Palmerston North, New Zealand, but somehow ended up in London...

Re: fsadm -b error

The problem is the trailing "/" after the mountpoint which confuses fsadm in
thinking that the root filesystem is mentioned, which in this case was not.

Remove the trailing "/"
