From http://docs.sun.com/, searching for the words "metadb" and
"cylinder," then choosing the document pertaining to a recent S10 Update
Release:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7010/mirrorplanning-1?l=en&a=view&q=metadb+cylinder
Under the section "Guidelines for Selecting Slices," you will find the
following:
"You must ensure that all submirrors you plan to attach to a mirror
either all start on cylinder 0, or that none of them start on cylinder 0.
"Starting cylinders do not have to be identical across all submirrors,
but all submirrors must either include or not include cylinder 0."
The documented, and correct, answer to your question is "no, it is not
dangerous to have the metadb slice start at cylinder 0."
