Two things to check. Make sure /etc/fstab specifies that the file system is to be mounted readonly. Also, in your parmfile where you specify DASD device numbers, make sure that you specify 107(ro). So, for example, you would have: 100-105,107(ro),191

We created an LVM using reiserfs as a single minidisk in the server and a mount point of /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1: /dev/vg6/lv1 1023964 300632 723332 30% /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1 We are hoping to use this as a single UDB reference in all our LINZ servers. On a second server I defined a link to the first servers 107 disk RR. ,USER LZSD003T xxxxxx 512M 2020M G 64 , INCLUDE LINXDFLT , LINK LZSS001A 0107 0107 RR , MDISK 0100 3390 31 285 VLX049 , MDISK 0101 3390 2270 1290 VLX056 , MDISK 0102 3390 4441 430 VLX057 , MDISK 0103 3390 6719 290 VLX059 , MDISK 0104 3390 9116 800 VLX05B , MDISK 0105 3390 7537 500 VLX05C , MDISK 0191 3390 3461 30 VLX047 When we start the second server he sees the LV and recognizes it but when we mount it we get the following errors: lzsd003t:~ # mount /dev/vg6/lv1 /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1 mount: block device /dev/vg6/lv1 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: you must specify the filesystem type lzsd003t:~ # mount /dev/vg6/lv1 /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1 -t reiserfs mount: block device /dev/vg6/lv1 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/vg6/lv1, or too many mounted file systems My mesages file says the following: Feb 5 17:32:09 lzsd003t kernel: reiserfs: checking transaction log (device 3a:04) ...

I would hate to have to install UDB on every instance. Thanks for any help.
