WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 036: V-2-36: vx_lctbad - mount_point file
system link count table lctnumber bad
■ Description
Update to the link count table (LCT) failed.
For a Version 2 and above disk layout, the LCT contains the link
count for all the structural inodes. The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set
in the super-block. If the super-block cannot be written, the file
system is disabled.
■ Action
Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural
check.

WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 037: V-2-37: vx_metaioerr - function -
volume_name file system meta data [read|write] error in dev/block
device_ID/block
■ Description
A read or a write error occurred while accessing file system
metadata. The full fsck flag on the file system was set. The
message specifies whether the disk I/O that failed was a read or a
write.
File system metadata includes inodes, directory blocks, and the
file system log. If the error was a write error, it is likely that some
data was lost. This message should be accompanied by another file
system message describing the particular file system metadata
affected, as well as a message from the disk driver containing
information about the disk I/O error.
■ Action
Resolve the condition causing the disk error. If the error was the
result of a temporary condition (such as accidentally turning off
a disk or a loose cable), correct the condition. Check for loose cables,
etc. Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural
check (possibly with loss of data).
In case of an actual disk error, if it was a read error and the disk
driver remaps bad sectors on write, it may be fixed when fsck is
run since fsck is likely to rewrite the sector with the read error.
In other cases, you replace or reformat the disk drive and restore
the file system from backups. Consult the documentation specific
to your system for information on how to recover from disk errors.
The disk driver should have printed a message that may provide
more information.
