• The fsck command option -m does not recognize a VxVM volume root partition

The fsck -m command does not recognize a VxVM volume root partition and fails when the file

system is mounted. This occurs because the device id of the block device and the device id of the

character device are different for VxVM volumes.

• The fcl_keeptime tunable cannot be set to the default value after being modified to a non-default

value

After the value for fcl_keeptime has been modified to a non-default value using the vxtunefs

command, you cannot reset the value back to the default value of 0.

• Issue with full volume 0 on a multi-volume file system

Certain file system metadata that is only in the file system must be allocated from volume 0. If volume0

is full, operations such as upgrading the file systems disk layout version and creating a storage

checkpoints can fail. These operations can be retried after freeing space on volume 0.

• The mkdir (1) command fails to create a new directory under a directory with more than 8 default

ACLs

The mkdir command fails with the following error when attempting to create a new directory under a

directory which has more than 8 default ACLs.

mkdir: cannot create directory_name: No space left on device

The workaround is to use setacl (1M) to reduce the number of default ACLs in the parent directory .

• File system GUI fails to set directory ownership for a mount point when the user and group IDs

do not match

The file system GUI fails to set directory ownership for a mount point when the specified user and

group IDs do not match. This results in the following error message:

Error V-44-50456-9045

Either group or user id is invalid

Choose the primary group of the specified user instead of other group IDs to which the user belongs

when setting the directory ownership.
