weird inode error on Itanium.

[dictum9]

RX4640 running 11.23

What is going on with the filesystem and how I can further refine what the error is?

Nothing unusual in syslog.

From dmesg:


msgcnt 1 vxfs: mesg 009: vx_direrr:vx_dirscan_1 - /opt file system dir inode 14612 dirent inode 0 immediate directory error 6
?vxfs msgcnt 1 offset 0x00000000 480000 3915 1c0007 5574

what's the o/p of fstyp -v

ie fstyp -v lvol_of_/opt

[IT_2007]

check for any stale extents on /opt.
Also check for directory permissions or fstyp -v /dev/vg00/rlvolXX for /opt.

Hi,
looks like a localised disk corruption problem.

From a web source:

"Description
A directory operation failed in an unexpected manner. The mount point, inode, and block
number identify the failing directory. If the inode is an immediate directory, the directory
entries are stored in the inode, so no block number is reported. If the error is ENOENTor ENOTDIR, an inconsistency was detected in the directory block. This inconsistency could be a bad free count, a corrupted hash chain, or any similar directory structure error. If the
error is EIOor ENXIO, an I/O failure occurred while reading or writing the disk block.The VX_FULLFSCKflag is set in the super-block so that fsckwill do a full structural check the next time it is run.

·Action
Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem was caused by a disk failure, replace
the disk before the file system is mounted for write access. Unmount the file system and
use fsckto run a full structural check."

Etc,

Have a look at this doc.
