3. remove failed hdisk from rootvg

5. mount /usr/local

Hi There,

you are absolutely correct, the loglv00 were used for /opt and /usr/local.

I had not been able to unmount both filesystems even though from fuser I don't see any processes running on both mountpoints (probably inittab is respawning some processes that uses these 2 mountpoints).

So what I did.

1. create new jfs2log on the same rootvg
2. use chfs to assign the newly created jfs2log to both filesystems
3. Reboot the machine, (server rebooted fine, but I had to perform fsck because those 2 filesystems were dirty)
4. mount them as usual after fsck completed.

Problem solved!

Would like to thank all of you for chipping ideas

local-filesystems(7)					 Miscellaneous Information Manual				      local-filesystems(7)

NAME

       local-filesystems - event signalling that local filesystems have been mounted

SYNOPSIS

       local-filesystems [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  local-filesystems  event  is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all local filesystems listed in fstab(5).  moun-
       tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with  other
       activity.

       This event is typically used by services that must be started in order for remote filesystems, if any, to be activated.	Remember that some
       users may not consider it wrong to place /usr on a remote filesystem.  For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.

       This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to be running once local filesystems are mounted might use:

	      start on local-filesystems
