021 WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 021: V-2-21: vx_fs_init - mount_point file
system validation failure
• Description
When a VxFS file system is mounted, the structure is read from disk. If
the file system is marked clean, the structure is correct and the first block
of the intent log is cleared.
If there is any I/O problem or the structure is inconsistent, the kernel sets
the VX_FULLFSCK flag and the mount fails.
If the error isn’t related to an I/O failure, this may have occurred because
a user or process has written directly to the device or used fsdb to change
the file system.
• Action
Check the console log for I/O errors. If the problem is a disk failure,
replace the disk. If the problem is not related to an I/O failure, find out
how the disk became corrupted. If no user or process is writing to the
device, report the problem to your customer support organization. In
either case, unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural
check.
