Not able to mount the Vxfs file system

[R.Suresh]

Dear all,

I am having the L-class machine with 12H
Array,

When I try to mount the Vxfs file system,

/dev/vg01/lvol1, system hangs.

I have done fsck. -Clean & O.K for mounting.

I have recreated the file system.

Even now system hangs ,if I mount this
file system.


Any solution.

Madhesh.

try to remove the /etc/mnttab and do a mount -a. What does the entry look like in fstab?

[Ian Dennison_1]

Can you perform an 'lvdisplay' on the Logical Volume and see the LUN set up on the array (ioscan -fn)?

If you are using a 'mount /mountpoint' command, try using a 'mount /dev/vg01/lvol1 /mountpoint' command.

Check if you are using valid options in /etc/fstab.

Share and Enjoy! Ian

Does the bdf command hang as well?

I've seen this behaviour when you have hard mounted NFS filesystems and the remote server is unavailable.

Failing that, it could be a disk hardware problem.

Regards,
John

Hello,
Check your /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file for any errors.

hey,

Can you mount this file system in single user mode or in LVM maintenance mode?

some thoughts ...

If your fsck works I suspect that your hardware is okay. However, I would do an fsck -F vxfs -o full (or maybe -o full,nolog) to force a 'real' fsck.

You aren't trying to mount /stand on this lv? /stand has to be hfs. Apologies for asking silly questions if this is not the case.

Another thing to check is the most current vxfs,jfs cumulative patches.

Hi Suresh,

Try using the command ncheck /dev/vg01/lvol1 and see if you get everything ok. If this hangs, it means there could be some hardware issues.

or do a dd from this lvol to /dev/null.

dd if=/dev/vg01/rlvol1 of=/dev/null bs=1024k

This shoudl also come out cleanly.
