Re: mount problems

I've seen versions of unix where there is a kernel parameter limit on the number of mounts allowed, but cannot find that parameter for HP-UX 10.20 and 11.00... Any more info you can give?

Re: mount problems

Just do a bdf and check whether the volume is mounted.

IF not check whether you have duplicated minor number for the volume

Just do a

#ll /dev/vg_name

Re: mount problems

Hi,

Very clear error volume is already mounted you can use LOSF to mount same volume twice.

Or you may have duplicate minor number.

Re: mount problems

You verify that you don't use the same minor number for another VG:
ls -l /dev/vg*/group
