Mounting clone of volume group start fsck

DRNielsen — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 04:09:05 GMT

When I mount the clone of a volume group on another server it starts with an e2fsck on the device. This is a large file system so I'm not interested in running this.

"snapdrive snap connect -fs /cloned_fs -snapname filer01:/vol/UnixData&colon;daily.2 -clone unrestricted"

this creates my clone and it also starts importing the dg but then it is put on hold by the e2fsck process running on the file system. If I kill the e2fsck process the lun's are mounted as expected.

What can I do to stop the server from running fsck on the cloned file system?

Server RHEL 6.6

Cloned image of mounted filesystem has dirty flag and possible inconsistency, so fsck is forced by OS. No workaround, unfortunately.
