hfs mount problem

[yatin]

I created a volume using veritas volume manager
then executed following command
mkfs -F hfs /dev/vx/rdsk/yatindg/yatinvol
o/p:
mkfs (hfs): /dev/vx/rdsk/yatindg/yatinvol - 102400 sectors in 200 cylinders of 16 tracks, 32 sectors
104.9Mb in 13 cyl groups (16 c/g, 8.39Mb/g, 1280 i/g)

How can I mount this volume??
Super block backups (for fsck -b) at:
16, 8240, 16464, 24688, 32912, 41136, 49360, 57584, 65808, 74032,
82256, 90480, 98704


then executed following command:
mount -F hfs -o
rw /dev/vx/rdsk/yatindg/yatinvol /ychaubal/temp/
O/P:
mount: /dev/vx/rdsk/yatindg/yatinvol is an invalid operand

I think you have tried to mount the raw device
/dev/vx/rdsk/

I cannot remember for sure but I believe VxVM creates the block devices in /dev/vx/dsk/

so try changing the line to use
/dev/vx/dsk/yatindg/yatinvol

You have to use Block device to mount:

Can you use this format:

mount -F hfs -o
rw /dev/vx/dsk/yatindg/yatinvol /ychaubal/temp/

Hope this helps

Use the block device

mount -F hfs -o
rw /dev/vx/dsk/yatindg/yatinvol /ychaubal/temp/
