Problem using newfs

[Clodoaldo João Rodrigue]

Hello All,

When I try use the command "newfs", I received the follow message:

cenesp04#newfs -F hfs /dev/vg07/rlvol0704
newfs (hfs): Cannot get status of /dev/vg07/rlvol0704
newfs (hfs): No such file or directory
Please, somebory knows what??s happened ??
Thanks for all .

better yet... how about `vgdisplay -v vg07`

[Jordan Bean]

what does `vgdisplay vg07` tell you?

[Patrick Wallek]

Is the VG active?

# vgchange -a y vg07

[A. Clay Stephenson]

The most likely answer is that /dev/vg07/rlvol0704 is a bogus entry.

Do a vgdisplay -v /dev/vg07 and an ls -l /dev/vg07 and let's see what they look like.

Hello,

Did you create a logical volume named lvol0704 for vg07? If you do 'ls -l /dev/vg07' you should see rlvol0704 and lvol0704 in there. If you don't see them, you'll need to 'lvcreate' that logical volume.

When I execute "vgdisplay vg07", the system return the vg configuration, because this vg07, it is ok.

Hello,


Try newfs with rdsk instead.

newfs -F hfs /dev/rdsk/device name

I guess you have already created pv,vg and coreesonding lv.

Goodluck

What about

# lvdisplay /dev/vg07/lvol0704

[Clodoaldo João Rodrigue]

FYI,
There??s already one lvol mounted in this vg07.

Hi,

First of all, I would check if the file name in the command line is correct. Do an ll /dev/vg07/rlvol0704 and see if the device file exists.

Then see if the volume group is active (vgdisplay vg??). If not, activate the volume group.

Also see if this file is a device file.

Is there any space assigned to this logical volume . IF not use lvextend to assign space then use newfs to create file system .
