5.4.2 recovery of file systems

When the mounted file system was backed up, it was backed up in the "mounting" status.

In order to protect user's data, a GFS Local File System is checked and made not to be able to use the file system in the "mounting" status.

Because to avoid multiple mountings of a file system at the same time. Should multiple mounting occur, file system consistency cannot be maintained. (Pay special attention to the shared disk environment accessed from multiple nodes.)

To release this status, the administrator must execute fsck_sfxfs(1M) command to restore the file system and clear the file system status flag. When a copy has been made normally, it takes several seconds to one minute to complete fsck_sfxfs(1M) execution.

The following example shows how to release "mounting" status by fsck_sfxfs(1M). The representative partition is /dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/vol301. Please execute it by super user after checking not mount from any node.

# fsck -F sfxfs -y /dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/vol0301
