AIX

Hi ,

We i try to mount aix filesystem i am getting the following error

Code:

mount: 0506-324 Cannot mount /dev/fslv11 on /testdir: A system call received a parameter that is not valid.

Please help me out

Please show the command you executed and the output of awk '/\/testdir/' RS= /etc/filesystems using code tags. Also check, if your errpt contains any messages about the FS/LV.

DONT logform on /dev/fslvXX - that is your data, not your jfs(2)log device.

Code:

grep -p /testdir /etc/filesystems

and/or

Code:

grep -p /dev/fslv11 /etc/filesystems

is the AIX way to get the stanza related information.

Often that error message just means the mount directory no longer exists, or you have a hidden character in the "typed" command, so the directory does not exist.

If this is an alternate mount point, you need to be root, (or maybe only in the system group) to mount to a "random", i.e. undefined mount point.
