056 WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 056: V-2-56: vx_mapbad - mount_point file system
extent allocation unit state bitmap number number marked bad
• Description
If there is an I/O failure while writing a bitmap, the map is marked bad. The kernel
considers the maps to be invalid, so does not do any more resource allocation from
maps. This situation can cause the file system to report "out of space" or "out of
inode" error messages even though df may report an adequate amount of free space.
This error may also occur due to bitmap inconsistencies. If a bitmap fails a
consistency check, or blocks are freed that are already free in the bitmap, the file
system has been corrupted. This may have occurred because a user or process wrote
directly to the device or used fsdb to change the file system.
The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set. If the VX_FULLFSCK flag can’t be set, the file
system is disabled.
•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 was writing to the device, report the problem to your
customer support organization. Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full
structural check.
057 WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 057: V-2-57: vx_esum_bad - mount_point file system
extent allocation unit summary number number marked bad
• Description

The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set. If the VX_FULLFSCK flag can’t be set, the file
system is disabled.
•Action

disk. If the problem is not related to an I/O failure, find out how the disk became
corrupted. If no user or process was writing to the device, report the problem to your
customer support organization. Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full
