Patch Name: PHKL_13862 Patch Description: s700 10.10 Fix for unmountable VxFS (JFS) file systems Creation Date: 98/01/19 Post Date: 98/01/28 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.10 Products: N/A Filesets: JournalFS.VXFS-BASE-KRN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Release Critical: Yes PHKL_13862: OTHER Unmountable VxFS (JFS) file system. Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHKL_13862 Symptoms: PHKL_13862: After a hard failure (panic/hang/TOC), a JFS file system may not mount and will return the following error message: vxfs mount: %s is not a vxfs file system. A full fsck does not clean the file system; a newfs/mkfs is the only solution. Defect Description: PHKL_13862: If the VX_IETRUNC flag is set for a file, then vx_trunc() is called and returns without clearing the ip->i_eopflags field. Since VX_IETRUNC alone is still set after vx_trunc(), the error return is set to EINVAL (reason why the mount fails). Prior to returning, if error is non-zero, vxfs sets the VX_FULLFSCK flag and returns.

Back up your system before installing a patch. 2. Login as root. 3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory. 4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch: cd /tmp sh PHKL_13862 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHKL_13862.depot 5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the server to install the patch on the server and the clients: swcluster -i -b This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and force all clients to be shut down. WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the patch installation. Installing the patch while the clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to serious problems. The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which you must specify: alternate root path - default is /export/shared_root/OS_700 source depot path - /tmp/PHKL_13862.depot To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install" from the Menubar. 5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster: - run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install the patch on the cluster server. - run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install the patch on the cluster clients. By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHKL_13862. If you do not wish to retain a copy of the original software, you can create an empty file named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE. Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful when using this feature. It is recommended that you move the PHKL_13862.text file to /var/adm/sw/patch for future reference. To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command: dd if=/tmp/PHKL_13862.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: This is a JFS patch that should not be installed on systems using the OmniStorage product. If you are using the OmniStorage product then using the methods taken to receive this patch please obtain the equivalent OmniStorage/JFS patch. If you cannot locate the patch, please contact your local HP support entity.
