mk_kernel problems

[Robin King_1]

I've just created a new logical volume, on a virgin install of HP-ux 11.11. For some reason at the same time most of the contents of /stand disappeared.
I've managed to recreate /stand/system, using kminstall. I'm now trying to run the mk_kernel, and I'm getting the following error:

# mk_kernel -s /stand/system

Presumably it's complaining about 4 entries in /stand/system. Is it safe to remove these? What other options have I got?

Thanks

To be safe, I'd re-install the OS.

What happens if you do a mkfs -m on the LV that /stand is mounted from

(The -m is very important !!)

e.g.

# # mkfs -F hfs -m /dev/vg00/lvol1
mkfs -F hfs -L /dev/vg00/lvol1 114688 22 7 8192 1024 16 10 60 6334

This is what I get:

mkfs -F vxfs -o ninode=unlimited,bsize=8192,version=4,inosize=256,logsize=256,nolargefiles /dev/vg00/lvol3 212992

I think you'll find that /stand has to be hfs.
vxfs will never work. You'll have to re-install the O/S with /stand as hfs

[Robin King_1]

That was actually the root FS. Just realised /stand should have it's own FS. It doesn't seem to be there. Something has screwed up big time.

Reinstall it is.

Thanks guys.

[harry d brown jr]

Gordon is correct, /stand MUST be hfs, thus you must reinstall.

You just blew away /stand. Looks like you created a vxfs system on it. Do you have latest backup of /stand?? And are you logged onto system?? If you have, restore it and you should be fine. Else re-install would be good.

[Stephen Keane]

are you sure you haven't just unmounted /stand?

[Robin King_1]

Yep, somehow I must have blown away /stand. I did check and it's not just been unmounted, the lv is missing from vg00.

It was a fresh system delivered last week, so we hadn't taken a backup. No major loss, I'll just start again.

For side_ba, ehci ensure the cd-rom/dvd drive is plugged in and working.
for some reason the C8000s complain when rebuilding, when the drive is not available.


Dunno about the space.h complaints.
