9594.0. "device not found: failure to mount fs" by HANDVC::STEVELIU () Wed Apr 23 1997 06:41
I have a unix v3.2 system, it was running normally, due to power
shutdown, the system has to be shutdown as well. Then problem
happened during startup of the system again. When it tried to mount
a certain file system, it seems that it cannot locate the device.
we try to comment out the faulty file system entry on /etc/fstab
as follows :
# more /etc/fstab
/dev/rz3a / ufs rw 1 1
/proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
usr_domain#usr /usr advfs rw 0 0
/dev/rz3b swap1 ufs sw 0 2
#/dev/rz8d /usr/public ufs rw 1 2
/dev/rz10b /usr/supp ufs rw 1 2
/dev/rz12c /usr/users ufs rw 1 2
The system was then able to boot up. we have tried to fsck the
raw device /dev/rrz8d, but it says no such device and manual
mounting the file system will crash the system.
what can I do then ?

| Does "show dev" at the console locate the device? It sounds to me like the most
likely problem is that the power shutdown fried the disk, and it's time for a
field service call. It's also time to find your most recent backup of the
disk...
