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)

    The cluster was upgrade from 4.1 MP3 to MP4 as part of the installation.

    /etc/filesystem look like this:

     

    # more /etc/filesystems
    vfat
    nfs
    hfs
    minix
    reiserfs
    *
     
    # more /proc/filesystems
    nodev   sysfs
    nodev   rootfs
    nodev   bdev
    nodev   proc
    nodev   cpuset
    nodev   debugfs
    nodev   securityfs
    nodev   sockfs
    nodev   pipefs
    nodev   futexfs
    nodev   tmpfs
    nodev   inotifyfs
    nodev   eventpollfs
    nodev   devpts
               ext2
    nodev   ramfs
    nodev   hugetlbfs
               minix
               iso9660
    nodev   mqueue
