/usr not OK

[Pete Devlin]

Started restore from tape but it blew out as /usr was not mounted! I've removed the core file from / but cannot mount anything using
/sbin/mount. Anyone got any idea ? I can see the disks & thier extents!

Hi Pete

try this

cd /
umount -a
fsck -y
mount -a

Pete,

You probably have /usr now under / (root) instead of a MOUNTED FILESYSTEM /usr, inwhich you have a FULL root filesystem.

If this is the case, then "rm -rf /usr", then MOUNT /usr filesystem, and redo your TAR restore.

Guys thanks for your help.

What I did in the end

was :- ran the /sbin/fsck command
then I ran /sbin/fs/vxfs/mount -F vxfs -o delaylog,rw, /dev/vg00/lvol7 /usr

then to check it was mounted ran it again (no bdf in sbin) & kicked off my restore which currently is going OK.

Thanks alot

P.S
& Yes Harry the /usr restore originally went to /.
