mounting filesystems

[sandra ramos]

Hi,
Newbie needing help. I'm trying to mount a file system and I'm getting the message no such file or directory. The file system is in /etc/fstab. What's wrong? Thanks

[Julio Yamawaki]

Hi,

for example, you have:

/etc/fstab
/dev/vg00/lvol1 /mpoint1 ....

You must verify that /mpoint1 is created, if not, mkdir /mpoint1
After, type the command: mount -a or mount /dev/vg00/lvol1 /mpoint1

Hi Sandra,

You need to create a mount point directory.

Example:
# mkdir /abc
# mount /dev/vg02/lvol5 /abc

It should be able to mount lvol5 on abc.

Now check the entry in /etc/fstab and modify if required.

hth.

Hi Sandra, You already got the reply for mounting filesystem, make sure you have to be root for this and if it is nfs mount point (some people don't use automounter) than do this
#mount hostname:/filesyste /mountpoint
(See the fstab entry)

Hi,

IS the Volume Group active and is the filesystem configured. Check vgdisplay -v /dev/vg_name for the VG to which this Filesystem belongs. Good Guess is that either the VG no longer exist or it is not active.

Hope this helps.

Hi sandra,

If you have let say this file system
dev/vg02/lvol9 and you want to mount it.

Just make one directory for example /sandra

Use this comand to mount it:

mount /dev/vg02/lvol9 /sandra


Success

Check whether the entry in the fstab file by mistake got Control Characters in.
In that case you can rewrite the entry, delete the old and then try out.

Sandra,

Se quiseres podes falar em português comigo.
qual realmente o problema. Já verificas-te se a directoria existe? qual o comando que estás a usar? já esperimentas-te o "#mo

#mount /dev/vgXX/lvolX /<>

Thanx
