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 cannot be remounted for read/write
access.
When a root Veritas 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.

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 023: V-2-23: vx_unmountroot - root file
system is busy and cannot be unmounted cleanly
■ Description
There were active files in the file system and they caused the
unmount to fail.
When the system is halted, the root file system is unmounted. This
happens occasionally when a process is hung and it cannot be killed
before unmounting the root.
■ Action
fsck will run when the system is rebooted. It should clean up the
file system. No other action is necessary.
If the problem occurs every time the system is halted, determine
the cause and contact your customer support organization.
