■ Description
When inode information is no longer dependable, the kernel marks
it bad on disk. The most common reason for marking an inode bad
is a disk I/O failure. If there is an I/O failure in the inode list, on a
directory block, or an indirect address extent, the integrity of the
data in the inode, or the data the kernel tried to write to the inode
list, is questionable. In these cases, the disk driver prints an error
message and one or more inodes are marked bad.
The kernel also marks an inode bad if it finds a bad extent address,
invalid inode fields, or corruption in directory data blocks during
a validation check. A validation check failure indicates the file
system has been corrupted. This usually occurs because a user or
process has written directly to the device or used fsdb to change
the file system.
The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set in the super-block so fsck will do a
full structural check the next time it is run.
■ 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.

WARNING: msgcnt x: vxfs: mesg 080: Disk layout versions older than
Version 4 will not be supported in the next release. It is advisable to
upgrade to the latest disk layout version now.
See the vxupgrade(1M) manual page.
See the Veritas Storage Foundation Release Notes.
■ Action
Use the vxupgrade command to begin upgrading file systems
using older disk layouts to Version 5, then 6, then 7. Consider the
following when planning disk layout upgrades:
■ Version 2 disk layout file systems have an 8 million inode limit.
Images of Version 2 disk layout file systems created by copy
utilities, such as dd or volcopy, will become unusable after a disk
layout upgrade.
