[Amit Manna_6]

HI,

I am getting following error in syslog after rebooting a server.

Jan 24 16:03:18 caxton vmunix: vxfs: mesg 008: vx_direrr - /var file system inode 4 block 1326 error 6

Does anybiody have any idea.

Hello Amit,

You may need to run # fsck for file system consistency on /var.

Shalom Amit,

Take the system to single user mode as soon as possible.

boot it

intervene at the 10 second prompt

bo

hpux -is

N to the intervention question

mount /usr
fsck -F vxfs -o full -y /dev/vg00/lvol8

Modify lvol8 to match the actual logical volume name of your system.

You must umount /var before running fsck.

these are the steps you should take.

Make sure you have the latest VxFS/LVM patches installed on your system.

run below command to confirm if it is a disk error.
# dd if=/dev/dsk/c#t#d# of=/dev/null bs=64k

Try running a full fsck on the file system if there was no error.

# fsck -F vxfs -y -o full /dev/vg##/lvol##
