Well, swap isn't a UFS filesystem, so "logging" doesn't mean anything there anyway. For quite some time there has been an interaction problem with logging UFS on a VxVM volume. Symantec has some technotes about it. The encapsulation script is disabling the logging feature intentionally. I don't know what the status is for your version of VxVM. http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/271404.htm > In this example: > > OS = Solaris 10 update 4 > VRTS pkgs = 5.0 with MP1 > Question is, doesn't "rootvol" require "logging"? No. But the filesystem is unprotected against certain inconsistencies that can arise during a crash. > /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/swapvol - - swap - no > nologging > /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/rootvol /dev/vx/rdsk/bootdg/rootvol / ufs > 1 no nologging > /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/var /dev/vx/rdsk/bootdg/var /var ufs 1 no > logging The fact that the script attaches that "mount" option on the swap slice seems rather silly. But it doesn't seem to do any harm. -- Darren _______________________________________________ Veritas-vx maillist - Veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-vx
