bootfs error

After an upgrade to ontap 7.2.1.1 bootfs error



Starting with version 7.2.1.1 DatOntap has a new code that checks integrity of the Compact Flash, and it looks for partially-written files. When the code finds some inconsistency in the file system on the compact flash it will result in a bootfs chkdsk error.


Here are the steps to resolve this issue:


filer>priv set advanced

filer>bootfs help info

* Take note of the name of the boot device.


filer>bootfs fdisk 1

For example: 0i.0 for name

This causes the boot device to be reformatted on the next download.


filer>download

Reformats and reloads your kernel on the boot device.


Note: You can use 'bootfs chkdsk "name"' to verify that the problem is corrected.
