014 WARNING: msgcnt
x : vxfs: mesg 014: vx_iget - inode table overflow
• Description
All the system in-memory inodes are busy and an attempt was made to use a new inode.
•Action
Note: The tunable parameter vx_ninode is used to set the value of vxfs_ninode.
Look at the processes that are running and determine which processes are using inodes. If
it appears there are runaway processes, they might be tying up the inodes. If the system
load appears normal, increase the vx_ninode parameter in the kernel (see “Kernel
Tunables” on page 26).
015 WARNING: msgcnt x: vxfs: mesg 015: vx_ibadinactive -
mount_point file system can’t
mark inode
inumber bad
WARNING: msgcnt
x : vxfs: mesg 015: vx_ilisterr - mount_point file system can’t mark
inode
inumber bad
• Description
An attempt to mark an inode bad on disk, and the super-block update to set the
VX_FULLFSCK flag, failed. This indicates that a catastrophic disk error may have occurred
since both an inode list block and the super-block had I/O failures. The file system is
disabled to preserve file system integrity.
•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.
016 WARNING: msgcnt
x : vxfs: mesg 016: vx_ilisterr - mount_point file system error reading
inode inumber
• Description
An I/O error occurred while reading the inode list. The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set.
•Action
Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem was caused by a disk failure, replace
the disk before the file system is mounted for write access. Unmount the file system and
use fsck to run a full structural check.
