Hi Everyone.
Once you have ClearCase started (on environments where you installed mvfs) we expected to have a file called ".specdev" inside "/view" directory, and if that is NOT true as stated on TN 1135104 (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=984&uid=swg21135104) you should reinstall Clearcase.
Here you have one alternative to Recreate that file without reinstalling CC on Linux machines:
Note: You must to it as root.
1) Change to /view directory:
cd /view
2) Recreate the special file and set the apropriate permissions/ownership.
mknod .specdev c 0 0x000000
chmod 444 .specdev
chown root:root .specdev
3) Verify the expected symbolic links.
Check if /var/adm/rational/clearcase/cache/clearcase_specdev is
pointing to the file above
ls -l /var/adm/rational/clearcase/cache/clearcase_specdev
We expected to have:
ls -l /var/adm/rational/clearcase/cache/clearcase_specdev
/var/adm/rational/clearcase/cache/clearcase_specdev -> /view/.specdev
If that is NOT true recreate the link by running:
ln -s /view/.specdev /var/adm/rational/clearcase/cache/clearcase_specdev

Pedro Moura
