AIX mount error "A file or directory in the path name does not exist."
(OP)
Hello people,
I successfully created a new volume using "smitty mklv" command with the name u20. Running the "lslv u20" command shows the following:
# lslv u20
LOGICAL VOLUME: u20 VOLUME GROUP: altbckupandexpo
LV IDENTIFIER: 00c9fa2000004c000000013b0aa4ffc0.1 PERMISSION: read/write
VG STATE: active/complete LV STATE: closed/syncd
TYPE: jfs2 WRITE VERIFY: off
MAX LPs: 1021 PP SIZE: 1024 megabyte(s)
COPIES: 1 SCHED POLICY: parallel
LPs: 1021 PPs: 1021
STALE PPs: 0 BB POLICY: relocatable
INTER-POLICY: minimum RELOCATABLE: yes
INTRA-POLICY: middle UPPER BOUND: 16
MOUNT POINT: N/A LABEL: /u20
MIRROR WRITE CONSISTENCY: on/ACTIVE
EACH LP COPY ON A SEPARATE PV ?: yes
Serialize IO ?: NO
How can I specify a mount point for this volume in order to successfully mount it?
looking forward to your suggestions... thanks

mount: 0506-324 Cannot mount /dev/fslv00 on /u20: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

What are you doing, that is wrong, you are trying to mount a LV on another LV!
/dev/fslv00 is a LV which might have a mount point and u20 is another LV.
See the output of your lslv command
MOUNT POINT: N/A --> which means there is no mount point defined, so how could you read it?
Here is what you do,
You created a LV, now you need a mount point in order to read/write in that LV.
Since you are done with mklv command. Now you have to create a file system for the LV.
Select a file system name that you feel is relevant, you can also select u20 as your FS
crfs -v jfs2 -d u02 -m /<FileSystem name> -Ay
I am selecting FS type as jfs2 and -Ay= automatic mount is yes.
So # crfs -v jfs2 -d u02 -m /u20 -Ay

AIXLogician, when I run "crfs -v jfs2 -d u02 -m /u20 -Ay" command, I get the following
crfs: 0506-909 /u20 file system already exists.
Thanks for all your support so far.
RE: AIX mount error "A file or directory in the path name does not exist."
ls -l /u20
If you have to create it run:
mkdir /u20
Better yet, just do this:
smitty crjfs2lvstd
This will bring you to the menu to add a filesystem to a previously defined logical volume.
For the future, do not create an LV if your sole purpose is to create a filesystem. Just create the filesystems and it will perform mklv on the background.
Hope this helps.
