I create a FS on AIX6 easily with 3 commands. The procedure that i follow is:

1- mklv ..........

2- crfs (with -m mountpoint) ........

3- mount .......

But when i have tried the same procedure on AIX7, i got the following error:

mount: 0506-324 Cannot mount DEVICENAME on MOUNTPOINT. A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

I have to use mkdir command to create the mountpoint. Am i missing sth or is it a new feature (limitation) for AIX7? Maybe its because of an OS setting?

Jai

  • note that the tag aix has only 152 followers here on S.O. I have seen better AIX answers in the unix group on ITToolbox.com. You have to register and find the group (+join group to post question), but you're more likely to get help there. Also ibm has AIX specific support forums. You'd do well to dig into them too. Good luck. – shellter Nov 17 '15 at 13:17
  • thanks @shellter, i have added the "unix" tag. – Jai Nov 17 '15 at 13:29
  • your problem is very AIX specific, but good luck. – shellter Nov 17 '15 at 13:30
  • AND, given that this is about managing system resources, you'll get a whole different group of people looking at your problem if you use the `flag` link at the bottom and ask the moderator to move your Q to the stackexchange related site for sysadmins (not just (*nix) ... http://serverfault.com/ . Good luck. – shellter Nov 17 '15 at 13:32
  • I would read the manual of mount(1). (To me, the 'problematic' new behaviour seems to be more natural.) – Zsigmond Lőrinczy Nov 17 '15 at 18:23
