IT31574: MODIFICATION TO /ETC/FILESYSTEMS FILE MAY INTERFERE WITH DB2 MOUNT MONITOR

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Certain system operations such as alt_disk_install may modify
  the AIX
  /etc/filesystems file for an extended period of time, and block
  other
  process from access said file. This may interfere with the Db2
  mount
  monitor mechanism and cause unreliable monitor results,
  therefore
  cause interruption to the Db2 processes.
