Hello,

AIX 5.1 - ML 3 - JFS filesystems

I'm able to split the copy of a filesystem, but when I try to resync them,
it errors out and I believe it corrupted the lvcb of the parent lv.

ABC> chfs -a splitcopy=/ABC/tester /tester
testlvcopy00
backup requested(0x100000)...
log redo processing for /dev/testlvcopy00
syncpt record at 2028
end of log 2028
syncpt record at 2028
syncpt address 2028
number of log records = 1
number of do blocks = 0
number of nodo blocks = 0
/
ABC> lsvg -l datavg
datavg:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
testlv jfs 2 4 1 open/stale /tester
testloglv jfslog 1 2 1 open/stale N/A
testlvcopy00 jfs 0 0 0 open/syncd /ABC/tester

ABC> umount /ABC/tester
/
ABC> rmfs /ABC/tester
0516-022 lquerylv: Illegal parameter or structure value.
0516-602 chlvcopy: Logical volume name not entered.
Usage: chlvcopy [ -f ] { -B [ -s ] } | { -b [ -c copy ] [ -f ] [ -P ] [ -l
new
lvname ] [ -w ] } LV name
Change the backup mirror copy characteristics for a Logical Volume
rmlv: Logical volume testlvcopy00 is removed.

ABC> lsvg -l datavg
datavg:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
testlv jfs 2 4 1 open/stale /tester
testloglv jfslog 1 2 1 open/syncd N/A
/
ABC> syncvg -l testlv
0516-1295 lresynclv: Unable to completely resynchronize volume.
        The logical volume has an active backup copy.
        This may have caused the command to fail.
0516-934 /etc/syncvg: Unable to synchronize logical volume testlv.

Any ideas?
