◆ If mount fails with an error message:

/etc/mnttab is missing or you do not have root privileges.
◆ If mount fails with an error message:
vxfs mount: device already mounted, ...
The device is in use by mount, mkfs or fsck on the same node. This error cannot be
generated from another node in the cluster.
◆ If this error message displays:
mount: slow
The node may be in the process of joining the cluster.
◆ If you try to mount a file system that is already mounted without –o cluster option
(that is, not in shared mode) on another cluster node,
# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/share/vol01 /vol01
the following error message displays:
vxfs mount: /dev/vx/dsk/share/vol01 is already mounted, /vol01
is busy, allowable number of mount points exceeded, or cluster
reservation failed for the volume
◆ If umount fails with an error message:
vxfs umount: /vol01 cannot unmount : Device busy
◆ You must unmount the file system on all secondary systems before unmounting it
from the primary.
