022 WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 022: V-2-22: vx_mountroot - root file system remount

failed

• Description

The remount of the root file system failed. The system will not be usable if the root

file system can’t be remounted for read/write access.

When a VERITAS root file system is first mounted, it is mounted for read-only

access. After fsck is run, the file system is remounted for read/write access. The

remount fails if fsck completed a resize operation or modified a file that was

opened before the fsck was run. It also fails if an I/O error occurred during the

remount.

Usually, the system halts or reboots automatically.

•Action

Reboot the system. The system either remounts the root cleanly or runs a full

structural fsck and remounts cleanly. If the remount succeeds, no further action is

necessary.

Check the console log for I/O errors. If the disk has failed, replace it before the file

system is mounted for write access.

If the system won’t come up and a full structural fsck hasn’t been run, reboot the

system on a backup root and manually run a full structural fsck. If the problem

persists after the full structural fsck and there are no I/O errors, contact your

customer support organization
