not mounted fs .. complains that it is mounted.

[rleon]

# mount /dev/appvg01/applv01 /opt/redprairie
vxfs mount: /dev/appvg01/applv01 is already mounted, /opt/redprairie is busy,
or allowable number of mount points exceeded

But the fs is not mounted.

remove mount point rmdir /opt/redprairie, create it again: mkdir /opt/redprairie, make sure the ownership of the directory is right, then mount the volume again.

[rleon]

Already did that. Even created a /tmp/mnt and I get the same error.

# mount /dev/appvg01/applv01 /tmp/mnt
vxfs mount: /dev/appvg01/applv01 is already mounted, /tmp/rl is busy,
or allowable number of mount points exceeded

[John Guster]

what are output of fuser /opt/redprairie and fuser /dev/appvg01/applv01?

[Patrick Wallek]

If you are cd'ed into the /opt/redprairie directory then the mount won't work.

# cd /
# mount /dev/appvg01/applv01 /opt/redprairie

[rleon]

# fuser /opt/redprairie
/opt/redprairie:

Patrick I was not in the dir when i tried to mount it.

I did cd into the dir when I did the bdf.

=)

[rleon]

now this is weird. I did

vgchange -c n

vgchange -a y

strings /etc/lvmtab to see if this vg has been imported.

[John Guster]

you may need create a map file of this vg, export it, then reimport it.

[Ninad_1]

Can you run
mount | egrep '/dev/appvg01/applv01|/opt/redprairie'

to check that your system does not see either the lvol / the directory as being used for already mounted FS.

Iam confused with the vgdisplay -v output.

There is no applv01.

Post the complete output of following....

# bdf
# vgdisplay -v /dev/appvg01
# lvdisplay /dev/appvg01/applv01
