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
