WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 021: V-2-21: 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 is not 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.
