001 

NOTICE: msgcnt x: mesg 001: V-2-1: vx_nospace - mount_point file system full (n block extent) 

  • Description

    The file system is out of space.

    Often, there is plenty of space and one runaway process used up all the remaining free space. In other cases, the available free space becomes fragmented and unusable for some files.

  • Action

    Monitor the free space in the file system and prevent it from becoming full. If a runaway process has used up all the space, stop that process, find the files created by the process, and remove them. If the file system is out of space, remove files, defragment, or expand the file system.

    To remove files, use the find command to locate the files that are to be removed. To get the most space with the least amount of work, remove large files or file trees that are no longer needed. To defragment or expand the file system, use the fsadm. command.

    See the fsadm_vxfs(1M) manual page.

002 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 002: V-2-2: vx_snap_strategy - mount_point file system write attempt to read-only file system 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 002: V-2-2: vx_snap_copyblk - mount_point file system write attempt to read-only file system 

  • Description

    The kernel tried to write to a read-only file system. This is an unlikely problem, but if it occurs, the file system is disabled.

  • Action

    The file system was not written, so no action is required. Report this as a bug to your customer support organization.

003, 004, 005 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 003: V-2-3: vx_mapbad - mount_point file system free extent bitmap in au aun marked bad 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 004: V-2-4: vx_mapbad - mount_point file system free inode bitmap in au aun marked bad 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 005: V-2-5: vx_mapbad - mount_point file system inode extended operation bitmap in au aun marked bad 

  • Description

    If there is an I/O failure while writing a bitmap, the map is marked bad. The kernel considers the maps to be invalid, so does not do any more resource allocation from maps. This situation can cause the file system to report out of space or out of inode error messages even though df may report an adequate amount of free space.

    This error may also occur due to bitmap inconsistencies. If a bitmap fails a consistency check, or blocks are freed that are already free in the bitmap, the file system has been corrupted. This may have occurred because a user or process wrote directly to the device or used fsdb to change the file system.

    The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set. If the map that failed was a free extent bitmap, and the VX_FULLFSCK flag can't be set, then the file system is disabled.

  • Action

    Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem is a disk failure, replace the disk. If the problem is not related to an I/O failure, find out how the disk became corrupted. If no user or process was writing to the device, report the problem to your customer support organization. Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

006, 007 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 006: V-2-6: vx_sumupd - mount_point file system summary update in au aun failed 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 007: V-2-7: vx_sumupd - mount_point file system summary update in inode au iaun failed 

  • Description

    An I/O error occurred while writing the allocation unit or inode allocation unit bitmap summary to disk. This sets the VX_FULLFSCK flag on the file system. If the VX_FULLFSCK flag can't be set, the file system is disabled.

  • Action

    Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem was caused by a disk failure, replace the disk before the file system is mounted for write access, and use fsck to run a full structural check.

008, 009 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 008: V-2-8: vx_direrr: function - mount_point file system dir inode dir_inumber dev/block device_ID/block dirent inode dirent_inumber error errno 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 009: V-2-9: vx_direrr: function - mount_point file system dir inode dir_inumber dirent inode dirent_inumber immediate directory error errno 

  • Description

    A directory operation failed in an unexpected manner. The mount point, inode, and block number identify the failing directory. If the inode is an immediate directory, the directory entries are stored in the inode, so no block number is reported. If the error is ENOENT or ENOTDIR, an inconsistency was detected in the directory block. This inconsistency could be a bad free count, a corrupted hash chain, or any similar directory structure error. If the error is EIO or ENXIO, an I/O failure occurred while reading or writing the disk block.

    The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set in the super-block so that fsck will do a full structural check the next time it is run.

  • Action

    Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem was caused by a disk failure, replace the disk before the file system is mounted for write access. Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

010 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 010: V-2-10: vx_ialloc - mount_point file system inode inumber not free 

  • Description

    When the kernel allocates an inode from the free inode bitmap, it checks the mode and link count of the inode. If either is non-zero, the free inode bitmap or the inode list is corrupted.

    The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set in the super-block so that fsck will do a full structural check the next time it is run.

  • Action

    Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

011 

NOTICE: msgcnt x: mesg 011: V-2-11: vx_noinode - mount_point file system out of inodes 

  • Description

    The file system is out of inodes.

  • Action

    Monitor the free inodes in the file system. If the file system is getting full, create more inodes either by removing files or by expanding the file system.

    See About Quality of Storage Service.

    See the fsadm_vxfs(1M) online manual page.

012 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 012: V-2-12: vx_iget - mount_point file system invalid inode number inumber 

  • Description

    When the kernel tries to read an inode, it checks the inode number against the valid range. If the inode number is out of range, the data structure that referenced the inode number is incorrect and must be fixed.

    The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set in the super-block so that fsck will do a full structural check the next time it is run.

  • Action

    Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

013 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 013: V-2-13: vx_iposition - mount_point file system inode inumber invalid inode list extent 

  • Description

    For a Version 2 and above disk layout, the inode list is dynamically allocated. When the kernel tries to read an inode, it must look up the location of the inode in the inode list file. If the kernel finds a bad extent, the inode can't be accessed. All of the inode list extents are validated when the file system is mounted, so if the kernel finds a bad extent, the integrity of the inode list is questionable. This is a very serious error.

    The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set in the super-block and the file system is disabled.

  • Action

    Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

014 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 014: V-2-14: vx_iget - inode table overflow 

  • Description

    All the system in-memory inodes are busy and an attempt was made to use a new inode.

  • Action

    Look at the processes that are running and determine which processes are using inodes. If it appears there are runaway processes, they might be tying up the inodes. If the system load appears normal, increase the vxfs_ninode parameter in the kernel.

    See Using kernel tunables.

015 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 015: V-2-15: vx_ibadinactive - mount_point file system can't mark inode inumber bad 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 015: V-2-15: vx_ilisterr - mount_point file system can't mark inode inumber bad 

  • Description

    An attempt to mark an inode bad on disk, and the super-block update to set the VX_FULLFSCK flag, failed. This indicates that a catastrophic disk error may have occurred since both an inode list block and the super-block had I/O failures. The file system is disabled to preserve file system integrity.

  • Action

    Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check. Check the console log for I/O errors. If the disk failed, replace it before remounting the file system.

016 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 016: V-2-16: vx_ilisterr - mount_point file system error reading inode inumber 

  • Description

    An I/O error occurred while reading the inode list. The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set.

  • Action

    Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem was caused by a disk failure, replace the disk before the file system is mounted for write access. Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

017 (continued) 

  • Description

    When inode information is no longer dependable, the kernel marks it bad in memory. This is followed by a message to mark it bad on disk as well unless the mount command ioerror option is set to disable, or there is subsequent I/O failure when updating the inode on disk. No further operations can be performed on the inode.

    The most common reason for marking an inode bad is a disk I/O failure. If there is an I/O failure in the inode list, on a directory block, or an indirect address extent, the integrity of the data in the inode, or the data the kernel tried to write to the inode list, is questionable. In these cases, the disk driver prints an error message and one or more inodes are marked bad.

    The kernel also marks an inode bad if it finds a bad extent address, invalid inode fields, or corruption in directory data blocks during a validation check. A validation check failure indicates the file system has been corrupted. This usually occurs because a user or process has written directly to the device or used fsdb to change the file system.

    The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set in the super-block so fsck will do a full structural check the next time it is run.

  • Action

    Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem is a disk failure, replace the disk. If the problem is not related to an I/O failure, find out how the disk became corrupted. If no user or process is writing to the device, report the problem to your customer support organization. In either case, unmount the file system. The file system can be remounted without a full fsck unless the VX_FULLFSCK flag is set for the file system.

019 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 019: V-2-19: vx_log_add - mount_point file system log overflow 

  • Description

    Log ID overflow. When the log ID reaches VX_MAXLOGID (approximately one billion by default), a flag is set so the file system resets the log ID at the next opportunity. If the log ID has not been reset, when the log ID reaches VX_DISLOGID (approximately VX_MAXLOGID plus 500 million by default), the file system is disabled. Since a log reset will occur at the next 60 second sync interval, this should never happen.

  • Action

    Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

020 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 020: V-2-20: vx_logerr - mount_point file system log error errno 

  • Description

    Intent log failed. The kernel will try to set the VX_FULLFSCK and VX_LOGBAD flags in the super-block to prevent running a log replay. If the super-block can't be updated, the file system is disabled.

  • Action

    Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check. Check the console log for I/O errors. If the disk failed, replace it before remounting the file system.

021 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 021: V-2-21: vx_fs_init - mount_point file system validation failure 

  • Description

    When a VxFS file system is mounted, the structure is read from disk. If the file system is marked clean, the structure is correct and the first block of the intent log is cleared.

    If there is any I/O problem or the structure is inconsistent, the kernel sets the VX_FULLFSCK flag and the mount fails.

    If the error isn't related to an I/O failure, this may have occurred because a user or process has written directly to the device or used fsdb to change the file system.

  • Action

    Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem is a disk failure, replace the disk. If the problem is not related to an I/O failure, find out how the disk became corrupted. If no user or process is writing to the device, report the problem to your customer support organization. In either case, unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

022 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 022: V-2-22: vx_mountroot - root file system remount failed 

  • Description

    The remount of the root file system failed. The system will not be usable if the root file system can't be remounted for read/write access.

    When a root Veritas File System is first mounted, it is mounted for read-only access. After fsck is run, the file system is remounted for read/write access. The remount fails if fsck completed a resize operation or modified a file that was opened before the fsck was run. It also fails if an I/O error occurred during the remount.

    Usually, the system halts or reboots automatically.

  • Action

    Reboot the system. The system either remounts the root cleanly or runs a full structural fsck and remounts cleanly. If the remount succeeds, no further action is necessary.

    Check the console log for I/O errors. If the disk has failed, replace it before the file system is mounted for write access.

    If the system won't come up and a full structural fsck hasn't been run, reboot the system on a backup root and manually run a full structural fsck. If the problem persists after the full structural fsck and there are no I/O errors, contact your customer support organization.

023 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 023: V-2-23: vx_unmountroot - root file system is busy and can't be unmounted cleanly 

  • Description

    There were active files in the file system and they caused the unmount to fail.

    When the system is halted, the root file system is unmounted. This happens occasionally when a process is hung and it can't be killed before unmounting the root.

  • Action

    fsck will run when the system is rebooted. It should clean up the file system. No other action is necessary.

    If the problem occurs every time the system is halted, determine the cause and contact your customer support organization.

024 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 024: V-2-24: vx_cutwait - mount_point file system current usage table update error 

  • Description

    Update to the current usage table (CUT) failed.

    For a Version 2 disk layout, the CUT contains a fileset version number and total number of blocks used by each fileset.

    The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set in the super-block. If the super-block can't be written, the file system is disabled.

  • Action

    Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

025 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 025: V-2-25: vx_wsuper - mount_point file system
super-block update failed 

  • Description

    An I/O error occurred while writing the super-block during a resize operation. The file system is disabled.

  • Action

    Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check. Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem is a disk failure, replace the disk before the file system is mounted for write access.

026 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 026: V-2-26: vx_snap_copyblk - mount_point primary file system read error 

  • Description

    Snapshot file system error.

    When the primary file system is written, copies of the original data must be written to the snapshot file system. If a read error occurs on a primary file system during the copy, any snapshot file system that doesn't already have a copy of the data is out of date and must be disabled.

  • Action

    An error message for the primary file system prints. Resolve the error on the primary file system and rerun any backups or other applications that were using the snapshot that failed when the error occurred.

027 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 027: V-2-27: vx_snap_bpcopy - mount_point snapshot file system write error 

  • Description

    A write to the snapshot file system failed.

    As the primary file system is updated, copies of the original data are read from the primary file system and written to the snapshot file system. If one of these writes fails, the snapshot file system is disabled.

  • Action

    Check the console log for I/O errors. If the disk has failed, replace it. Resolve the error on the disk and rerun any backups or other applications that were using the snapshot that failed when the error occurred.

028 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 028: V-2-28: vx_snap_alloc - mount_point snapshot file system out of space 

  • Description

    The snapshot file system ran out of space to store changes.

    During a snapshot backup, as the primary file system is modified, the original data is copied to the snapshot file system. This error can occur if the snapshot file system is left mounted by mistake, if the snapshot file system was given too little disk space, or the primary file system had an unexpected burst of activity. The snapshot file system is disabled.

  • Action

    Make sure the snapshot file system was given the correct amount of space. If it was, determine the activity level on the primary file system. If the primary file system was unusually busy, rerun the backup. If the primary file system is no busier than normal, move the backup to a time when the primary file system is relatively idle or increase the amount of disk space allocated to the snapshot file system.

    Rerun any backups that failed when the error occurred.

029, 030 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 029: V-2-29: vx_snap_getbp - mount_point snapshot file system block map write error 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 030: V-2-30: vx_snap_getbp - mount_point snapshot file system block map read error 

  • Description

    During a snapshot backup, each snapshot file system maintains a block map on disk. The block map tells the snapshot file system where data from the primary file system is stored in the snapshot file system. If an I/O operation to the block map fails, the snapshot file system is disabled.

  • Action

    Check the console log for I/O errors. If the disk has failed, replace it. Resolve the error on the disk and rerun any backups that failed when the error occurred.

031 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 031: V-2-31: vx_disable - mount_point file system disabled 

  • Description

    File system disabled, preceded by a message that specifies the reason. This usually indicates a serious disk problem.

  • Action

    Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check. If the problem is a disk failure, replace the disk before the file system is mounted for write access.

032 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 032: V-2-32: vx_disable - mount_point snapshot file system disabled 

  • Description

    Snapshot file system disabled, preceded by a message that specifies the reason.

  • Action

    Unmount the snapshot file system, correct the problem specified by the message, and rerun any backups that failed due to the error.

033 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 033: V-2-33: vx_check_badblock - mount_point file
system had an I/O error, setting VX_FULLFSCK 

  • Description

    When the disk driver encounters an I/O error, it sets a flag in the super-block structure. If the flag is set, the kernel will set the VX_FULLFSCK flag as a precautionary measure. Since no other error has set the VX_FULLFSCK flag, the failure probably occurred on a data block.

  • Action

    Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check. Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem is a disk failure, replace the disk before the file system is mounted for write access.

034 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 034: V-2-34: vx_resetlog - mount_point file system can't reset log 

  • Description

    The kernel encountered an error while resetting the log ID on the file system. This happens only if the super-block update or log write encountered a device failure. The file system is disabled to preserve its integrity.

  • Action

    Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check. Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem is a disk failure, replace the disk before the file system is mounted for write access.

035 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 035: V-2-35: vx_inactive - mount_point file system inactive of locked inode inumber 

  • Description

    VOP_INACTIVE was called for an inode while the inode was being used. This should never happen, but if it does, the file system is disabled.

  • Action

    Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check. Report as a bug to your customer support organization.

036 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 036: V-2-36: vx_lctbad - mount_point file system link count table lctnumber bad 

  • Description

    Update to the link count table (LCT) failed.

    For a Version 2 and above disk layout, the LCT contains the link count for all the structural inodes. The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set in the super-block. If the super-block can't be written, the file system is disabled.

  • Action

    Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

037 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 037: V-2-37: vx_metaioerr - function - volume_name file system meta data [read|write] error in dev/block device_ID/block 

  • Description

    A read or a write error occurred while accessing file system metadata. The full fsck flag on the file system was set. The message specifies whether the disk I/O that failed was a read or a write.

    File system metadata includes inodes, directory blocks, and the file system log. If the error was a write error, it is likely that some data was lost. This message should be accompanied by another file system message describing the particular file system metadata affected, as well as a message from the disk driver containing information about the disk I/O error.

  • Action

    Resolve the condition causing the disk error. If the error was the result of a temporary condition (such as accidentally turning off a disk or a loose cable), correct the condition. Check for loose cables, etc. Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check (possibly with loss of data).

    In case of an actual disk error, if it was a read error and the disk driver remaps bad sectors on write, it may be fixed when fsck is run since fsck is likely to rewrite the sector with the read error. In other cases, you replace or reformat the disk drive and restore the file system from backups. Consult the documentation specific to your system for information on how to recover from disk errors. The disk driver should have printed a message that may provide more information.

038 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 038: V-2-38: vx_dataioerr - volume_name file system file data [read|write] error in dev/block device_ID/block 

  • Description

    A read or a write error occurred while accessing file data. The message specifies whether the disk I/O that failed was a read or a write. File data includes data currently in files and free blocks. If the message is printed because of a read or write error to a file, another message that includes the inode number of the file will print. The message may be printed as the result of a read or write error to a free block, since some operations allocate an extent and immediately perform I/O to it. If the I/O fails, the extent is freed and the operation fails. The message is accompanied by a message from the disk driver regarding the disk I/O error.

  • Action

    Resolve the condition causing the disk error. If the error was the result of a temporary condition (such as accidentally turning off a disk or a loose cable), correct the condition. Check for loose cables, etc. If any file data was lost, restore the files from backups. Determine the file names from the inode number.

    See the ncheck(1M) manual page.

    If an actual disk error occurred, make a backup of the file system, replace or reformat the disk drive, and restore the file system from the backup. Consult the documentation specific to your system for information on how to recover from disk errors. The disk driver should have printed a message that may provide more information.

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 039: V-2-39: vx_writesuper - file system super-block write error 

  • Description

    An attempt to write the file system super block failed due to a disk I/O error. If the file system was being mounted at the time, the mount will fail. If the file system was mounted at the time and the full fsck flag was being set, the file system will probably be disabled and Message 031 will also be printed. If the super-block was being written as a result of a sync operation, no other action is taken.

  • Action

    Resolve the condition causing the disk error. If the error was the result of a temporary condition (such as accidentally turning off a disk or a loose cable), correct the condition. Check for loose cables, etc. Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

    If an actual disk error occurred, make a backup of the file system, replace or reformat the disk drive, and restore the file system from backups. Consult the documentation specific to your system for information on how to recover from disk errors. The disk driver should have printed a message that may provide more information.

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 048: V-2-48: vx_dqread - warning: mount_point file system external user|group quota file read failed 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 049: V-2-49: vx_dqwrite - warning: mount_point file system external user|group quota file write failed 

  • Description

    To maintain reliable usage counts, VxFS maintains the user and group quotas file as a structural file in the structural fileset. These files are updated as part of the transactions that allocate and free blocks and inodes. For compatibility with the quota administration utilities, VxFS also supports the standard user visible quota files.

    When quotas are turned off, synced, or new limits are added, VxFS tries to update the external quota files. When quotas are enabled, VxFS tries to read the quota limits from the external quotas file. If these reads or writes fail, the external quotas file is out of date.

  • Action

    Determine the reason for the failure on the external quotas file and correct it. Recreate the quotas file.

056 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 056: V-2-56: vx_mapbad - mount_point file system extent allocation unit state bitmap number number marked bad 

  • Description

    If there is an I/O failure while writing a bitmap, the map is marked bad. The kernel considers the maps to be invalid, so does not do any more resource allocation from maps. This situation can cause the file system to report "out of space" or "out of inode" error messages even though df may report an adequate amount of free space.

    This error may also occur due to bitmap inconsistencies. If a bitmap fails a consistency check, or blocks are freed that are already free in the bitmap, the file system has been corrupted. This may have occurred because a user or process wrote directly to the device or used fsdb to change the file system.

    The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set. If the VX_FULLFSCK flag can't be set, the file system is disabled.

  • Action

    Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem is a disk failure, replace the disk. If the problem is not related to an I/O failure, find out how the disk became corrupted. If no user or process was writing to the device, report the problem to your customer support organization. Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

079 (continued) 

  • Description

    When inode information is no longer dependable, the kernel marks it bad on disk. The most common reason for marking an inode bad is a disk I/O failure. If there is an I/O failure in the inode list, on a directory block, or an indirect address extent, the integrity of the data in the inode, or the data the kernel tried to write to the inode list, is questionable. In these cases, the disk driver prints an error message and one or more inodes are marked bad.

    The kernel also marks an inode bad if it finds a bad extent address, invalid inode fields, or corruption in directory data blocks during a validation check. A validation check failure indicates the file system has been corrupted. This usually occurs because a user or process has written directly to the device or used fsdb to change the file system.

    The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set in the super-block so fsck will do a full structural check the next time it is run.

  • Action

    Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem is a disk failure, replace the disk. If the problem is not related to an I/O failure, find out how the disk became corrupted. If no user or process is writing to the device, report the problem to your customer support organization. In either case, unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 081: V-2-81: possible network partition detected 

  • Description

    This message displays when CFS detects a possible network partition and disables the file system locally, that is, on the node where the message appears.

  • Action

    There are one or more private network links for communication between the nodes in a cluster. At least one link must be active to maintain the integrity of the cluster. If all the links go down, after the last network link is broken, the node can no longer communicate with other nodes in the cluster.

    Check the network connections. After verifying that the network connections is operating correctly, unmount the disabled file system and mount it again.

082 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 082: V-2-82: volume_name file system is on shared volume. It may get damaged if cluster is in partitioned state. 

  • Description

    If a cluster node is in a partitioned state, and if the file system is on a shared VxVM volume, this volume may become corrupted by accidental access from another node in the cluster.

  • Action

    These shared disks can also be seen by nodes in a different partition, so they can inadvertently be corrupted. So the second message 082 tells that the device mentioned is on shared volume and damage can happen only if it is a real partition problem. Do not use it on any other node until the file system is unmounted from the mounted nodes.

  • Action

    Mount the file system again without specifying the logiosize option, or use a logiosize value compatible with the intent log specified when the file system was created. If the error persists, unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

    The vxfs kernel was unable to map actual storage to the next offset in the File Change Log file. This is mostly likely caused by a problem with allocating to the FCL file. Because no new FCL records can be written to the FCL file, the FCL has been deactivated.

  • Action

Re-activate the FCL. 

093 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 093: V-2-93: Disk layout versions older than Version 6 will not be supported for shared mounts in the next release. It is advisable to upgrade to the latest layout version now. 

See the vxupgrade(1M) manual page. 

See the Storage Foundation Release Notes. 

  • Action

    Upgrade your disk layout to Version 6 for shared mounts. This is not a mandatory action, but is recommended. Disk layout Version 4 will still be supported for local mounts in the next release of the VxFS.

    Use the vxupgrade command to begin upgrading file systems using older disk layouts to Version 6.

094 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 094: V-2-94: Unable to mount the primary file system file_system because it is still mounted on secondary nodes. 

  • Description

    An attempt to unmount a secondary node failed and hung, preventing the primary file system from being mounted.

  • Action

    Wait until the file system is ready to be mounted, make a secondary node eligible to become the primary file system, or unmount all secondary nodes.

096 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 096: V-2-96: file_system file system fullfsck flag set - function_name

  • Description

    The next time the file system is mounted, a full fsck must be performed.

  • Action

    No immediate action required. When the file system is unmounted, run a full file system check using fsck before mounting it again.

097 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 097: V-2-97: VxFS failed to create new thread (error_number, function_address:argument_address

  • Description

    VxFS failed to create a kernel thread due to resource constraints, which is often a memory shortage.

  • Action

    VxFS will retry the thread creation until it succeeds; no immediate action is required. Kernel resources, such as kernel memory, might be overcommitted. If so, reconfigure the system accordingly.

098 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 098: V-2-98: VxFS failed to initialize File Change Log for fileset fileset (index number) of mount_point file system 

  • Description

    VxFS mount failed to initialize FCL structures for the current fileset mount. As a result, FCL could not be turned on. The FCL file will have no logging records.

  • Action

    Reactivate the FCL.

099 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 099: V-2-99: The specified value for vx_ninode is less than the recommended minimum value of min_value 

  • Description

    Auto-tuning or the value specified by the system administrator resulted in a value lower than the recommended minimum for the total number of inodes that can be present in the inode cache. VxFS will ignore the newly tuned value and will keep the value specified in the message (VX_MINNINODE).

  • Action

    Informational only; no action required.

100 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 100: V-2-100: Inode inumber can not be accessed: file size exceeds OS limitations. 

  • Description

    The specified inode's size is larger than the file size limit of the current operating system. The file cannot be opened on the current platform. This can happen when a file is created on one OS and the filesystem is then moved to a machine running an OS with a smaller file size limit.

  • Action

    If the file system is moved to the platform on which the file was created, the file can be accessed from there. It can then be converted to multiple smaller files in a manner appropriate to the application and the file's format, or simply be deleted if it is no longer required.

101 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 101: V-2-101: File Change Log on mount_point for file set index approaching max file size supported. File Change Log will be reactivated when its size hits max file size supported. 

  • Description

    The size of the FCL file is approching the maximum file size supported. This size is platform specific. When the FCL file is reaches the maximum file size, the FCL will be deactivated and reactivated. All logging information gathered so far will be lost.

  • Action

    Take any corrective action possible to restrict the loss due to the FCL being deactivated and reactivated.

102 

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 102: V-2-102: File Change Log of mount_point for file set index has been reactivated. 

  • Description

    The size of FCL file reached the maximum supported file size and the FCL has been reactivated. All records stored in the FCL file, starting from the current fc_loff up to the maximum file size, have been purged. New records will be recorded in the FCL file starting from offset fs_bsize. The activation time in the FCL is reset to the time of reactivation. The impact is equivalent to File Change Log being deactivated and activated.

  • Action

    Informational only; no action required.
