I have a package that was running fine this morning and was recently started and has just failed. here is the error.

while running fsck on one of the LV's that gets mountedvxfs fsck: file system had I/O error(s) on user data.
file system is larger than device
vxfs fsck: cannot initialize aggregate
file system check failure, aborting ...

Hi Rusty,

Try this,

Start the cluster. Do not start the package. Activate the packge VG on one of the nodes,

vgchange -a e /dev/vg_name

Now do a fsck for all the LV's and see if it works okay. If it works, deactivate the VG, vgchange -a n /dev/vg_name.

Now start the packge,

cmrunpkg -v pkg_name

You can also do a "vgdisplay -v /dev/vg_name" once you have activated the VG in exclusive mode (vgchange -a e /dev/vg_name) on a SG node.

Hope this helps.

The fsck error you got might be that the VxFS version of fsck is being executed on an HFS file system.
Check yr /etc/fstab entry and see if the lvol you're talking about is hfs or vxfs. If it's hfs, change it to vxfs or you can run
# fsck -F vxfs /dev/vgXX/lvolX

Hello,
Just use
fsck -F vxfs -o full eg./dev/vg00/lvol8

This will give you more information.
