fsck check of VxVM volume fails during boot.

Hello Nicolai,

Was this ever working before ?

Also, was this disk encapsulated or manually added to group ?

From linux admin guide I see following:

Root disk encapsulation is only supported for devices with standard SCSI or
IDE interfaces. It is not supported for most devices with vendor-proprietary
interfaces, except the COMPAQ SMART and SMARTII controllers, which use
device names of the form /dev/ida/cXdXpX and /dev/cciss/cXdXpX.

Not sure if you are hitting the same...

Gaurav

hmm sounds interesting...

could you paste contents of your fstab file here ?

Also, what is the filesystem on this vol ? its ext2/3 or vxfs ?

Gaurav

Hi again Gaurav.

It's a VxFS volume. And here the /etc/fstab
