filesystem displayed as a '#' 1

Hi folks, strange one here.
AIX 5.3 ML 8

Basically when I run lsvg -l vg01 I see the list of filesystems :

vg01:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
loglv00 jfs2log 1 1 1 open/syncd N/A
fslv01 jfs2 16 16 1 open/syncd /oracle
fslv02 jfs2 48 48 1 open/syncd /oracle/product/10.2.0
fslv03 jfs2 132 132 1 open/syncd /dba
paging01 paging 16 16 1 open/syncd N/A
loglv02 jfslog 1 1 1 open/syncd N/A
lv00 jfs 5 5 1 open/syncd /fnsw
lv01 jfs 20 20 1 open/syncd /fnsw/local
fslv04 jfs2 4 4 1 open/syncd /ora12
fslv05 jfs2 4 4 1 open/syncd #
fslv06 jfs2 96 96 1 open/syncd /ora32

However one of them is showing as a # symbol. fslv05 relates to a mount point /ora22. df -k shows the filesystem correctly. However when I go into smit I cannot choose it to increase it or whatever, the # symbol is displayed instead. And on choosing this I get an error. I've deleted the fs and logical volume completely but the # then moves to the logical volume owned by another fs and I have to repeat the process.

Any ideas whats happening here ?
Thanks

Someone (you?) edited /etc/filesystems I'd assume...
remember that the comment character for that file is [tt]*[/tt], not [tt]#[/tt]



HTH,

well I checked /etc/filesystems and there is another filesystem in there which has been commented out using # rather than *. The filesystem affected here appears fine though.
are you suggesting /etc/filesystems could now be corrupt?

(and no it wasn't me who did it

Well, just edit the file (or notify your sysadmin to edit the file) and put stars instead of the hashes.

Corrupt is too big a word, but lsfs or lsvg -l sure can't cope with the file as it is now...
