syslog message

[John Forbes]

Will someone help me interpret exactly the meaning of this syslog message below.

"vmunix: vxfs: mesg 004: vx_mapbad - /ics2 file system free inode bitmap in au 5 marked bad"

Thanks.

hi,

refer to this thread:

may require a fsck on that filesystem or worse case, replace the disk.

Hi John,

Did you use fsadm to reorganize your filesystem ?

please post your os version and the vxfs version.

Have also seen the intermediate case where you needed to newfs the filesystem.

There is also this document which discusses JFS errors in some detail (including this one):
