Hello fellow manglers,
We've got a strange one. We shut down and powered off our Alpha
3000/600. On powerup and boot, the ADVfs "home" fileset didn't get
mounted. When manually (as superuser) issuing "mount /home" we get
"user1#home on /home: No such domain, fileset or mount directory".
Well, the mount dir. certainly exists! The /etc/fdmns/user1 directory
still contains the correct link. The fstab entry is still intact, as
you can see from the error. What could have happened?
Even more strangeness: running the Advanced File System Manager (ADVfs
GUI) and selecting the domain "user1", then requesting "manage filesets"
from the options menu brings up usual box listing filesets that shows
only one fileset, "root", and shows it as unmounted. What? There had
better not be an ADVfs fileset named root! And we had installed the OS
with / and /usr as UFS. There was never a fileset configured with the
name "root". Also, requesting a file domain summary on this "user1"
file domain fails with error "that domain has no mounted filesets".
Well, renaming the fileset "root" to "home" fails also.
We *did* have some flakeyness from this particular disk once before.
However, we can still mount and access the other filedomain and fileset
on that same disk. See, user1#home is rz3e and user2#local
(ie./usr/local) is rz3d. We've got user2#local mounted fine with no
problems seeing the data.
Any guesses? Any suggestions?
TIA,
-Neil
