mount a external hdd

[Krebs]

Hi,
i have a problem with mounting a external hdd at a hp-ux ws with rev 10.20.

Whenever i try to use com 'mount /dev/vg01/lvol3 /disc' it gives me the note 'vxfs mount: /dev/vg01/lvol3 is corrupted. needs checking'
I have tried com fsck sev times, but i does not work.
Any suggestions there ???

Thanks in advance ... - Mat

What fsck syntax did you use?

For a vxfs LV you should do fsck twice. The first time do a 'fsck /dev/vg01/rlvol3' Then the second time you run fsck you should do 'fsck -o full /dev/vg01/rlvol3'

Try doing both of those and then try remounting the LV.

what does this external HDD means? are you trying to import a disk and trying to mount it. If yes confirm if the filesystem created was vxfs or hfs.

Good luck

Hi ,

When you exicute fsck it takes the file system type as mentioned in /etc/defaults/fs file. or /etc/fstab.

Try the following

fsck -F vxfs / hfs -o full /dev/vgXX/rlvolXX

Good luck

Thanks for your response.

I tried this com:

input -> fsck -F vxfs -o full /dev/vg01/rlvol3
log replay in progress
vxfs fsck: fsck read failure bno = 1240, off = 0, len = 8192
try a full file system check

And when i try:

input -> mount /dev/vg01/lvol3 /disc
vxfs mount: /dev/vg01/lvol3 is corrupted. needs checking


I have tried fsck several times with all poss drives.
But no success.

Any other suggestions ???
