goal

SYS Volume on NSS pool won't mount.

fact

NetWare 6.5

The customer is using the NSS Snapshop feature.

symptom

The boot$log shows the error "Volume SYS could NOT be mounted.  Some or all volume segments cannot be located.  If this is an NSS volume, the pool may need to be activated using the command nss /poolactivate=poolname."

Running verify produces the error "System data I/O error 20202(zio.c[1996]"

Running a rebuild produces an "20444" nss error.

cause

The snapshot was also placed on the SYS pool.  The snapshot either grew too large, or was causing a conflict of some kind.

fix

Manually delete the snapshot which will then allowed the rebuild to complete.  This can be done with the command MM SNAP DELETE ALL.  When dealing with a cluster this command must be done on the active node.
