Storage Foundation Cluster File System problems

Unmount failures

The

umount

command can fail if a reference is being held by an NFS server.

Unshare the mount point and try the unmount again.

Mount failures

Mounting a file system can fail for the following reasons:

■

The file system is not using disk layout Version 6 or 7.

■

The mount options do not match the options of already mounted nodes.

■

A cluster file system is mounted by default with the

qio

option enabled if

the node has a Quick I/O for Databases license installed, even if the

qio

mount option was not explicitly specified. If the Quick I/O license is not
installed, a cluster file system is mounted without the

qio

option enabled.

So if some nodes in the cluster have a Quick I/O license installed and others
do not, a cluster mount can succeed on some nodes and fail on others due to
different mount options. To avoid this situation, ensure that Quick I/O
licensing is uniformly applied, or be careful to mount the cluster file system
with the

qio

/

noqio

option appropriately specified on each node of the

cluster.
See the

mount

(1M) manual page.

■

A shared CVM volume was not specified.

■

The device is still mounted as a local file system somewhere on the cluster.
Unmount the device.

■

The

fsck

or

mkfs

command is being run on the same volume from another

node, or the volume is mounted in non-cluster mode from another node.

■

The

vxfsckd

daemon is not running. This typically happens only if the

CFSfsckd

agent was not started correctly.

■

If

mount

fails with an error message:

vxfs mount: cannot open mnttab

/etc/mnttab

is missing or you do not have

root

privileges.

■

If

mount

fails with an error message:

vxfs mount: device already mounted, ...

The device is in use by

mount

,

mkfs

or

fsck

on the same node. This error

cannot be generated from another node in the cluster.
