Modifying /etc/fstab after LV creation

[dictum9]

I created a LV, manually mounted it, all is well. But when I modified /etc/fstab, unmounted the LV then tried to do "mount -a", it said:

umount: cannot find /audbu in /etc/mnttab
cannot unmount /audbu

vxfs mount: mount option(s) incompatible with file system /dev/vg10/lvol

Is it because the /etc/mnttab file is not updated with latest /etc/fstab?


manually mounting the LV works....

I suspect it's because you have largefiles specified as a mount option in /etc/fstab on a filesystem that has not been enabled for largefiles

Hi:

It sounds as if you have added VxFS (Journaled File System (JFS)) options that are *not* supported unless you have Online JFS.

The options that require Online JFS include '-o mincache=direct' and '-o convosync=direct'.

Hi,

Could you please show /etc/fstan with the change ?

[Jeff_Traigle]

It would help if we knew what command line you used to mount it successfully and what the /etc/fstab entry is that's not working.

[Patrick Wallek]

The key is this:

vxfs mount: mount option(s) incompatible with file system /dev/vg10/lvol

What is the line you added to the /etc/fstab?

Did you specify "largefiles" there? If so, is the filesystem set up for largefiles? Remount the filesystem manually and then verify with "fsadm /mountpoint" (where /mountpoint is the path you mounted to).

If the filesystem is not set for largefiles and you specify largefiles in /etc/fstab then you will run into this issue.

The /etc/fstab options and file system creation options must be consistent.

One way I like to use to make sure iot goes into fstab ok is to manually mount the file system, then do:
mount -p |tail -1 >> /etc/fstab

Assuming the manually mounted file system is the last to show up when doing a mount -p

Then manually umount it, then try mount -a
