10068.0. "LSM and newfs" by SYSTEM::HELLIAR (http://samedi.reo.dec.com/) Fri Jun 06 1997 10:04
I tried to setup LSM on my system and encapsulate some existing
disks...along the way I had various failures and retries and now Im at
the stage where I dont understand whats going on.
Basically, I have 4 partitions rz2e, and rz3g are intended for user
partitions, rz2a, and rz3h are intended to be used as raw devides for
an Informix database. I have set up the following:
# volprint
TYPE NAME ASSOC KSTATE LENGTH COMMENT
dg rootdg rootdg - -
dm disk01 rz2a - 130544
dm disk02 rz2e - 1657132
dm disk03 rz3g - 818688
dm disk04 rz3h - 837932
sd disk01-01 vol-disk01-01 - 130544
sd disk02-01 vol-disk02-01 - 1657132
sd disk03-01 vol-disk03-01 - 818688
sd disk04-01 vol-disk04-01 - 837932
plex vol-disk01-01 vol-disk01 ENABLED 130544
plex vol-disk02-01 vol-disk02 ENABLED 1657132
plex vol-disk03-01 vol-disk03 ENABLED 818688
plex vol-disk04-01 vol-disk04 ENABLED 837932
vol vol-disk01 fsgen ENABLED 130544
vol vol-disk02 fsgen ENABLED 1657132
vol vol-disk03 fsgen ENABLED 818688
vol vol-disk04 fsgen ENABLED 837932
So, disk01 and disk04 are the raw devices and disk02, and disk03 are
the cooked file systems...or at least thats what I would like.
When I try to mount them I get:
# mount /dev/vol/rootdg/vol-disk02 /usera
/dev/vol/rootdg/vol-disk02 on /usera: No valid filesystem exists on
this partition
orginally there was a UFS system on this partition and disklabel still
admits to it, but somewhere during my struggles with LSM I have lost
it.
Unfortunely, if I try to recreate the file system, I get:
# newfs /dev/vol/rootdg/vol-disk02
newfs: /dev/vol/rootdg/vol-disk02: no default #tracks
Even trying the -t option to specify my oen number of tracks does not
affect the error from newfs.
What am I missing?
P.S. I cant run the X/Windows LSM utility as I dont have a license,
and the wonderful corperate PAK system now only works for US employees!
This is an internal system and I am not worried about loosing data on
these partitions to get this thing working.
