File system mount automatically

[bcre3306]

I have a file system to mount automatically but when the system reboots it never mounts automatically. I have to manually mount it every time. Is there any reason for this or something that I can do to make sure it does mount?
Also some backround. It's a H70 RS/6000 running 4.3.3 and it's a SSA drive.
Thanks

There are several reasons why a file system set to automount can fail mounting. Try investigating for the following..

1) The volume group on which the file system resides should be varied on. (lsvg -o) will tell you all the volume grps that are varied on.
2) The disk on which the volume group resides should be available. lsdev -Cc pdisk# will help.
3) Running fsck on the filesystem should not result in any errors.
4) The VGDA on the disk might be inconsistent with the odm. You can sync the VGDA and LVCB with the ODM (using synclvodm and syncvg).

Hope this helps.

One more thing you need to check is to make sure that the jfslog the filesystem is using is available and formatted. You can format the jfslog using logform /dev/<FS Name>

You can also verify that the filesystem to mount is attached to another filesystem to mount before .
Check it in the /etc/filesystems and respect the order of déclaration.

I think you may have just forgot to set it to mount when it was created. I do that occasionally and it is the first thing I check. Just edit the stanza in /etc/filesystems so that mount = true:

/opt:
dev = /dev/emcd11
vfs = jfs
log = /dev/loglv00
mount = true
check = false
options = rw
account = false

If that is not the problem, the previous posts have some good tips. IBM Certified -- AIX 4.3 Obfuscation
