I bfu'd a machine to daily.620 and had a bunch of services die. The
interesting thing was the following message from svc.startd:
Jun 20 19:39:32 svc.startd[100004]: failed to abandon contract 50: Permission
denied
This was well before any login prompt showed up. After the login
prompt showed up 'ctstat -a | grep 50' didn't show anything. Looking
at 'svcs -xv' the time of failure uniquely lines up with when
svc:/network/linkmgmtd:default was put into maintenance for "Restarting
too quickly". Thats not completely suprising as I bfu'd from a project
specific gate that was a new service in certainly creating a bit of a
mess.
The thing that suprised me was the EPERM message. svc.started created
it but couldn't destroy it?
Maybe I'm just too far out in the weeds given the mixed bits to expect
sanity.
Some info after my signature.
