"mount" error

[JUP]

Hi - sounds like a simple error message but have not been able to fix it. I used to be able to mount / unmount the drive at will but now have errors

I am trying to mount /dev/vg01/data1 (ie. /dev/rdsk/c0t14d0, which incidently is mirrored to /dev/rdsk/c0t15d0) to /data1.

# mount /dev/vg01/data1 /data1
vxfs mount: /dev/vg01/data1 is corrupted. needs checking

So I then did a:
# fsck /dev/vg01/data1
log replay in progress
full file system check required, exiting ...

Then a:
# fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t14d0
fsck: /etc/default/fs is used for determining the file system type
invalid super-block
vxfs fsck: cannot initialize aggregate
file system check failure, aborting ...

How do I clean / check the file system so I can mount it ?
I am logged in as root and am in multi-use mode. Have not tried in single user mode as I am doing this over a dial-in modem.

Hi
It seems that it's a vxfs volumn and
it need a full fsck.
So you can use fsck like this:
#fsck -F vxfs -o full /dev/vg01/data1
After it finished just try to mount
it again.
Good luck.

You might want to do a reboot -n after you do a full fsck i.e -o full

Thanks - all OK

I just couldn't find the man pages for the "-o" options. I did a "man" on fsck but couldn't find the -o options that were available.

Hi,

You can see the jfs/vxfs options for fsck by doing an man on fsck_vxfs.

Hi.
You can find the "-o" option with
#man fsck_vxfs
Good Luck!

check /etc/fstab for the file system type, if it is vxfs then run command
#fsck -F vxfs -o full /dev/vg01/data1
this should mount logical volume successfully
