problem in mounting

[Azaru]

Hi,

I have forgot the root password. So to recover that i just rebooted the system in single user mode. in this mode only / and /stand file systems mounted. But now the problem is when i tried to mount the /usr it is throwing the error

file system is currepted needs checking.

Now what i have to do to resolve this issue.

Any one please guide me.

Run fsck, then mount:

fsck -y /dev/vg00/rlvol7

You need to run fsck against the raw device:

fsck -F vxfs /dev/vg00/rusr

If that doesn't succeed, run with -o full

fsck -F vxfs -o full /dev/vg00/rusr

Then mount.

Regards,
Eric

great thanks.

but still i am getting one more problem. When i tried to execute the following command

/usr/lbin/modprpw -k root
to unlock the account. its showing the error

/usr/lib/dld/sl:] can't find the shared path in libxti.2
/usr/lib/dld.sl:] No such file or directory

I hope u will give me the right solution.

thanks in advance

FYI, the lockout for root does not apply if you are using the console.

You could keep this simple by either just using the passwd command to change root's password or edit /tcb/files/auth/r/root and remove the encryptend password. The password will then be null and you can change it again at any run level.

To keep from having command issues mount all vg00 filesystems, /usr, /var, /opt as well. run fsck on each as you did before as they are dirty due to your forced crash.

You can also have fsck check all file systems in /etc/fstab by simply not specifying which one to check. It will then go through each of the listed file systems, prompting you (unless you specified -y) as to whether or not you want to check each FS. You can then do a "mount -a" to get them all mounted.
