Open = Unix Opened - This is a mounted file system on the array
Valid = valid container - This Linux operating system recognized the
array and there has been a query (such as mount, fdisk, read, or write)
on the array.


Thank you,
Davis

Hi,

recently (don't know the reason!), my container went to "Valid" value
from "Open" for the Usage field found in "container list" command. Well,
I do not know why and what this implies.

And, how to go back to "Open"?
