mount command hang on VXFS volume without -t vxfs argument

Using SFHA 4.1 MP4 on SUSE 10 SP1 my mount command hang if I doesn't specify the -t vxfs option. 

Any seen this before ?

mount -t vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/dglogs/lvlogs  /logs/     {works}

mount /dev/vx/dsk/dglogs/lvlogs  /logs/               {hangs until reboot}

However the right mount seems to be called :

 

root      1115  9316  0 12:30 pts/2    00:00:00 mount /dev/vx/dsk/dglogs/lvlogs /logs/
root      1254  1115  0 12:30 pts/2    00:00:00 /sbin/mount.vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/dglogs/lvlogs /logs/ -o rw

  • Slighlty different versions of product & OS, but on Linux I have seen where the -t commands don't seem to be properly passed through -- no hang, just an error. Specifying the full path seems to work fine, e.g.,

    /opt/VRTS/bin/mount ...

    (for what its worth)

    /etc/filesystem look like this:

     

    # more /etc/filesystems
    vfat
    nfs
    hfs
    minix
    reiserfs
