This issue has been solved. See solution.

Using SFHA 4.1 MP4 on SUSE 10 SP1 my mount command hang if I doesn't specify the -t vxfs option. 

Any seen this before ?

mount -t vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/dglogs/lvlogs  /logs/     {works}

mount /dev/vx/dsk/dglogs/lvlogs  /logs/               {hangs until reboot}

However the right mount seems to be called :

 

root      1115  9316  0 12:30 pts/2    00:00:00 mount /dev/vx/dsk/dglogs/lvlogs /logs/
root      1254  1115  0 12:30 pts/2    00:00:00 /sbin/mount.vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/dglogs/lvlogs /logs/ -o rw
 
Best Regards

The cluster was upgrade from 4.1 MP3 to MP4 as part of the installation.

/etc/filesystem look like this:

 

# more /etc/filesystems
vfat
nfs
hfs
minix
reiserfs
*
 
# more /proc/filesystems
nodev   sysfs
nodev   rootfs
nodev   bdev
nodev   proc
nodev   cpuset
nodev   debugfs
nodev   securityfs
nodev   sockfs
nodev   pipefs
nodev   futexfs
nodev   tmpfs
nodev   inotifyfs
nodev   eventpollfs
nodev   devpts
           ext2
nodev   ramfs
nodev   hugetlbfs
           minix
           iso9660
nodev   mqueue
           ext3
nodev   usbfs
           vxfs
           vxclonefs
nodev   rpc_pipefs
 

Assumption is the mother of all mess ups.

In linux is not necessary to

In linux is not necessary to specify certain actions such is the case also of "tar xvf" You do not need to put the "-xvf" only "xvf" and another case is the "mount / dev /cdrom"

Slighlty different versions

Slighlty different versions of product & OS, but on Linux I have seen where the -t commands don't seem to be properly passed through -- no hang, just an error. Specifying the full path seems to work fine, e.g.,

/opt/VRTS/bin/mount ...

(for what its worth)
