chkdsk question with vxVM

Hello,

If the FS is corrupted  VxVM will initiate chkdsk by default, if we disable chkdsk option and if the Volume is corrupted, would  VxVM will force to mount the FS?  or wil wait ...

  • VxVM does not initiate chkdsk, so I assume mean VCS.  By default the MountV agent has attribute AutoFSClean set to 1, so if the filesystem is corrupt it is cleaned using Chkdsk.  If you change AutoFClean to 0, then the filesystem will not be force mounted, instead the VCS MountV resource will remain offline and you will need to run Chkdsk manually.
