I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me some pointers on troubleshooting extremely long startup times (2.5hrs). This is a problem that has only manifest itself in 2009.06 and was not present in either 2008.05 or 2008.11. The hardware configuration has not changed.
The issue is definitely related to the 4x1TB Raid-z array on the box, when I disconnect the drives the boot time is very snappy. With them connected it sits there for 2.5hrs seemingly doing nothing. The box is pingable but not fully up (ssh etc are refused). Looking in /var/adm/messages doesn't give a lot of help, with the only message that an IRQ is being assigned to CPU 0 and CPU 1 alternatively. I'll add an exact snippet once the box has booted as it's in this state atm. I've looked to see whether this is an IRQ conflict, and have enabled MSI interrupts on the NGE driver to remove the major conflicts but without any change. Any pointers would be appreciated!
