Mount agent fails to online Mount resource due to OS issue

Last published : Sep 11, 2026
Mount resource is configured with jfs2 file system. While bringing the Mount resource online, the resource may fault with the following log message due to the IBM issue IZ773575.
mount: <Device_Path> on <Mount_Path>: Device busy
The current volume is: <Device_Path>
Open volume exclusive read or write returned, rc = 16
fsck: 0507-289 Device unavailable or locked by another process.
      Cannot continue.
Workaround: The online operation for Mount resource internally calls the fsck command if mount command fails. IBM recommends re-running the fsck command to resolve the issue. Hence, increase the OnlineRetryLimit value for Mount resource to a higher value than its default value.
