Issue
Mounting a filesystem fails with mount point busy, allowable number of mount points exceeded
message.
VxFS or CFS Mount fails with the following error message:
Aug 7 11:37:29 root@serv1 filesystem.sh[2321]: Mounting /dev/vx/dsk/ignitedg/var_ignite_vol with option -o rw,largefiles,delaylog
UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: V-3-21264: /dev/vx/dsk/ignitedg/var_ignite_vol is already mounted, /var/opt/ignite is busy,
or the allowable number of mount points has been exceeded.
The mount
command would succeed on a newly created temporary mount point.
Workaround
# mv /var/opt/ignite /var/opt/ignite.bad
# mkdir /var/opt/ignite
# mount -F vxfs -o cluster /dev/vx/dsk/ignitedg/var_ignite_vol /var/opt/ignite (for CFS)
# rm -rf /var/opt/ignite.bad
OR
# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/ignitedg/var_ignite_vol /var/opt/ignite (for VxFS)
