Update /etc/filesystems

[neuralnode]

Hi All,

After a reboot of an AIX 6.1 host (LPAR), the filesystems I previously mounted are not mounted anymore.
There is no information about those fs in the /etc/filesystems file.

So I have 2 questions:

(1) Is there a command that can add manually mounted filesystems to the /etc/filesystems file (=update it)?
I really don't feel like editing that file by hand on every system.

(2) Why weren't the relevant entries added to /etc/filesystems in the first place?
The commands while creating the fs's I used were as follows:

mkvg -y oravg hdisk1​

mklv -t jfs2log -y oralvlog oravg 1​

mklv -y oralv oravg 15G​

mkfs -V jfs2 -A -o log=/dev/oralvlog /dev/oralv​

mount -o noatime,log=/dev/oralvlog /dev/oralv /oradata​

Thanx in advance for your help.

You should have used crfs instead of mkfs - crfs adds the entries to /etc/filesystems.

Yes, that is true.
I've also heard I can export and import the vg to have those filesystems added to /etc/filesystems.
Haven't tried that yet, but surely will.

No need to export, just import it with -L option.
