022 WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 022: V-2-22: vx_mountroot - root file system
remount failed
• Description
The remount of the root file system failed. The system will not be usable if
the root file system can’t be remounted for read/write access.
When a VERITAS root file system is first mounted, it is mounted for
read-only access. After fsck is run, the file system is remounted for
read/write access. The remount fails if fsck completed a resize operation
or modified a file that was opened before the fsck was run. It also fails if
an I/O error occurred during the remount.
Usually, the system halts or reboots automatically.
• Action
Reboot the system. The system either remounts the root cleanly or runs a
full structural fsck and remounts cleanly. If the remount succeeds, no
further action is necessary.
Check the console log for I/O errors. If the disk has failed, replace it before
the file system is mounted for write access.
If the system won’t come up and a full structural fsck hasn’t been run,
reboot the system on a backup root and manually run a full structural
fsck. If the problem persists after the full structural fsck and there are
no I/O errors, contact your customer support organization
