Weird ADVFS problem

[Andreas Fassl]

Hi,

System is a XP1000 running Tru64 5.1 (sorry, haven't got any later release in the moment).

Did the usual steps to create a file domain, but I get an error after entering:
# showfmdn temp_domain
...
showfdmn: unable to display volume info; domain not active.

Before I start to patch and upgrade (this is a less important system) probably someone can give me a hint where to look for more information about this problem.

What I did:
I have a partition /dev/disk/dsk0h I want to use for /tmp.
Made a
mkfdmn /dev/disk/dsk0h temp
mkfset temp fs1

After this I get the above listed error.

Any help greatly appreciated,

with kind regards

Andreas

Advfs is said to be active if and only if atleast one fileset is mounted.

In your case, you can use:
# mount temp#fs1 /tmp ;(for mounting onto /tmp)
Now, 'showfdmn' on the domain will work.

Andreas,

"showfsets" can be used on a domain that has none of its fsets mounted.

Both answers were helpful. The real reason was a typo in the directory name of the mount point. what a day.
Thanks alot for the help
