019 WARNING: msgcnt x : vxfs: mesg 019: vx_log_add - mount_point file system log overflow
• Description
Log ID overflow. When the log ID reaches VX_MAXLOGID (approximately one billion by
default), a flag is set so the file system resets the log ID at the next opportunity. If the log
ID has not been reset, when the log ID reaches VX_DISLOGID (approximately VX_MAXLOGID
plus 500 million by default), the file system is disabled. Since a log reset will occur at the
next 60 second sync interval, this should never happen.
• Action
Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.
020 WARNING: msgcnt x : vxfs: mesg 020: vx_logerr - mount_point file system log error errno
• Description
Intent log failed. The kernel will try to set the VX_FULLFSCK and VX_LOGBAD flags in the
super-block to prevent running a log replay. If the super-block can’t be updated, the file
system is disabled.
• Action
Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check. Check the console log
for I/O errors. If the disk failed, replace it before remounting the file system.
021 WARNING: msgcnt x : vxfs: mesg 021: vx_fs_init - mount_point file system validation
failure
• Description
When a VxFS file system is mounted, the structure is read from disk. If the file system is
marked clean, the structure is correct and the first block of the intent log is cleared.
If there is any I/O problem or the structure is inconsistent, the kernel sets the
VX_FULLFSCK flag and the mount fails.
If the error isn’t related to an I/O failure, this may have occurred because a user or process
has written directly to the device or used fsdb to change the file system.
• Action
Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem is a disk failure, replace the disk. If the
problem is not related to an I/O failure, find out how the disk became corrupted. If no user
or process is writing to the device, report the problem to your customer support
organization. In either case, unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural
check.
