Folks,
Please note the following very carefully and pass it onto anyone who either
builds or manages Tru64 Unix boxes.
If a system is using LSM, a problem can occur that will prevent LSM from
starting at system boot. This will manifest itself as a `test: argument
expected` message just before the point where the message `Starting LSM`
would normally occur. LSM will then not start and the system cannot be
booted to multi-user mode. This is due to the root volume entry in fstab
being separated using tabs instead of normal white space.
If a system is using LSM, ensure the fstab file for the root volume entry
only is separated by white space, e.g.
root_domain#root / advfs rw 0 0
The script /sbin/lsmbstartup makes a check for a line in fstab containing
`/` surrounded by spaces. This check will return a null value if tabs are
used.
Regards,
Dave.
