using device without a filesystem

[Mauro Gatti]

Hi all,
in a serviceguard package I have a VG which contains 3 LV.
2 LV have a vxfs FS mounted by control script.
The last one is an LV I use with "-o snapof" mount_vxfs option.
So, every time package runs, it mounts a "snapshot".
I put the mount/umount commands in the customizable start and stop command sections of control script.
In fact, if I put the mount command in LV mount section, package doesn't start because it fails when it does an fsck check before mounting the LV.
It fails I use "-V" in FS_FSCK_OPT though.

Now I have 2 questions:
Is it possible to tell ServiceGuard to Ignore fsxk operation for this LV?
Does the option KILL_PROCESSES_ACCESSING_RAW_DEVICES="YES" affect my LV too?

Thank You

Regards

Mauro

Shalom,

There should be no fsck operation on a raw disk device. You will need to modify your control script to stop trying to mount a filesystem on this raw disk device, then the fsck errors should stop.

Make sure there is no mount attempt in /etc/fstab as well.

This problem is due to a mistake in configuration of SG, most likely.

If you listed this volume in the section with the other file systems, expect to see the script attempt to fsck it and mount it.

If you don't want that, remove that LV[?] entry and transfer any specially handled volume commands to the customer_defined_run_cmds function in the legacy package control script (or external script, if this is a modular package).
