Patch Name: PHCO_26917 Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 cumulative extendfs_hfs(1M) patch Creation Date: 02/05/01 Post Date: 02/06/11 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 s800: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: LVM.LVM-RUN Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: Yes PHCO_26917: CORRUPTION PHCO_18837: CORRUPTION Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_26917 Symptoms: PHCO_26917: When using estendfs_hfs to enlarge a file system in which there are some symbolic links, extendfs exits with errors and the file system is corrupted. Users will see the following messages: read error: XXXXXXX rdfs: No such device or address PHCO_18837: When using extendfs_hfs to enlarge a file system with a fragment size that is not 1K bytes, the directory of the mount point becomes corrupted. This causes the error message ". not found" to be issued when an attempt is made to mount the file system. PHCO_10578: When trying to use extendfs to create/enlarge to a large hfs file system, extendfs would appear to work, but print the message ERROR -- we are writing to the wrong fragments and the file system would be corrupted. This problem is seen only for extending file systems larger than 40GB. PHCO_8549: When trying to use extendfs to create/enlarge to a large hfs file system, extendfs would appear to work, but print the message ERROR -- we are writing to the wrong fragments and the file system would be corrupted. Defect Description: PHCO_26917: Extendfs_hfs mistakes some symbolic links for a device address. This causes routine of rdfs() to read incorrect data from the device. The file system is corrupted after that. Resolution: Modify extendfs codes to handle each type of symbolic links correctly. PHCO_18837: When the 'cylinder group summary information' needs to be re-written (due to an increase in size), the incorrect number of fragments required is calculated when the fragment size is not 1K bytes. This causes the data in the first data block, which includes the current directory entry "." in the mount directory, to be lost. Resolution: The correct number of fragments required is calculated, regardless of the fragment size. PHCO_10578: When extending the cylinder area needed for large file systems, extendfs could possibly corrupt the file system while enlarging it, forcing the customer to either fsck and restore the file system, or possibly need to do a newfs. PHCO_8549: When extending the cylinder area needed for large file systems, extendfs could possibly corrupt the file system while enlarging it, forcing the customer to either fsck and restore the file system, or possibly need to do a newfs.

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 PHCO_26917 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHCO_26917.depot By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHCO_26917. 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 PHCO_26917.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/PHCO_26917.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
