Error Message

# fsck -F vxfs -o full -y /dev/vx/rdsk/crs_shared_dg/crs_volUX:vxfs fsck: ERROR: V-3-26118: bc_write failure devid = 0, bno = 8, off = 0, len = 1024

 

Cause

Following messages are seen in the syslog after executing the fsck command:

NOTICE: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-148 i/o error occured on path 31/0x60700 belonging to dmpnode 1/0x2d0
NOTICE: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-148 i/o error analysis done on path 31/0x60700 belonging to dmpnode 1/0x2d0
NOTICE: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-147 media error occured on dmpnode 1/0x2d0
NOTICE: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-148 i/o error analysis done on path 31/0x60700 belonging to dmpnode 1/0x2d0
WARNING: VxVM vxio V-5-0-2 Subdisk c4t0d7-01 block 8: Uncorrectable write error

There is an uncorrectable write error on disk c4t0d7.

bash-2.05# vxdisk list | grep c4t0d7
c4t0d7       auto:cdsdisk    c4t0d7       crs_shared_dg online shared

fsck is failing due to disk i/O error on c4t0d7 on which this filesystem's VxVM Volume is created.

Resolution

Check with the Storage/Hardware/OS vendor on the hardware I/O errors. If disk is faulty, it may require replacement and restoration of filesystem data from backups if there are no other existing mirrored plexes for the volume.

 

 

Issue/Introduction

CFS Filesystem cannot be mounted and fails with errors reporting corruption and requiring fsck. Consequent "fsck" on the CFS filesystem keeps failing with errors.
