Corrupted mount point showing as #

[macrun95]

I'm having an issue where a mount point got corrupted somehow. I've never seen this before. The lsvg command shows:
edge(root)[pts/0]/> lsvg -l datavg
datavg:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
loglv02 jfs2log 1 1 1 closed/syncd N/A
fslv01 jfs2 304 304 1 closed/syncd /printermgmt
fslv02 jfs2 4000 4000 3 closed/syncd /gpmsdata
fslv03 jfs2 40 40 1 closed/syncd #
fslv04 jfs2 360 360 1 closed/syncd /gmdoc

The mount point that shows # should show /gpms. If I look at the stanza in /etc/filesystems is looks correct.
/gpms:
dev = /dev/fslv03
vfs = jfs2
log = /dev/loglv02
mount = true
options = rw
account = false

I've tried everything I can think of short of deleting the filesystem, recreating it and restoring from backup. I have done a synvg, synlvodm, fsck, and logform on the jfs2 log. When I try and mount it I get an error:
mount: 0506-334 /gpms is not a known file system.

Unfortunately, this in an older level of AIX, 5300-05-02.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you

have tried to varyoffvg and then export your vg and then check if the FS stanza is gone from the /etc/filesystems?


maybe there is no such filesystem on fslv03?

what does:

getlvcb -L fslv03

shows?

try also:

grep -p fslv03 /etc/filesystems

maybe there are more fs stanzas pointing to this LV?

We found the problem. There was a stanza directly above this one that was commented out with pound signs. I removed the stanza from /etc/filesystems and was able to mount the filesystem as normal. Apparently, /etc/filesystems doesn't like pound signs for comments.

Thanks for the response.
