  • 1.  fs not mounting during System Init

    Working with Admin at ISV who says their /etc/filesystem entries that contain "mount=true" are not getting mounted during reboot. Example stanza:

    /data1:
    dev = /dev/data1lv
    vfs = jfs2
    log = /dev/loglv00
    mount = true
    options = rw
    account = false

    Some fs's are on local disks, some are fiber attached (DS4800). They mount fine manually. Occuring on multiple AIX ptns, both 5.3, TL 3 and 4. Suggestions? Thanks.

    I would suggest firstly that you try running the mount command from a shell prompt. If it fails post the error message you see.

    Check and make sure /etc/rc is executable. I get the same problem every now and then where /etc/rc looses its execute bit. I think OpenView resets it somehow.

    Thanks all for the help. Here's an update.

    No warning/err msgs in "smit alog" for boot or console, or errpt

    Executable bits are OK: -r-xr-xr-- 1 bin bin 3572 Apr 06 2006 /etc/rc

    The Admin can't try "mount all" since users are active.

    New info: Not all their "mount=true" filesystems fail to mount during system Init. Just this /data1 fs. /data1 differs from the other "mount=true" fs's in that it has log=/dev/loglv00 specified, the others specify log=/dev/hd8. Admin also indicated he created /data1 once with INLINE log and it mounted OK on system Init. ?? Thx.

    Thx. I'm having him chk the VG. And also that the VG has "Activate VG automatically at system restart" set to Yes.
