- You probably have "mount = true" set in your /etc/filesystem
- file for /mnt. hd5 is the boot logical volume, and /mnt is
- used (and mounted) whenever you run bosboot, but you don't
- want to mount hd5 on it's own because it's not a filesystem.
- /blv:
- dev = /dev/hd5
- vol = "spare"
- mount = false
- check = false
- free = false
- vfs = jfs
- log = /dev/hd8

- Also, the lock message is usually because the lock attribute has
- been left in the database because a lvm shell script was killed, etc.
- putlvodm -K `getlvodm -v rootvg`
- or
- odmdelete -q "name=rootvg and attribute=lock" -o CuAt
- will fix it.
- But, make sure that there really isn't another lvm process running.
- The reason we lock the volume group is so no other lvm commands can
- run at the same time. An easy way out of a messy situation.
