I've been looking all over and can't find this... In the past I have seen error messages when a service terminates too often that says service restarted too many times and has been put into maintenance mode. I even thought I had seen a parameter somewhere that set it to 3 or so. Howver, now I can't find it.
The reason is that I have come across a situation/bug where vold (volfs service) core dumps in 6/06. Vold is restarted every four to six seconds, so I am getting about ten abnormal ends and resulting core dumps a minute! Took me a while to figure out why my disk would not stop :) Anyway, it seems SMF should catch the fact that this error is happening much to frequently and put volfs into maintenance mode. But it is not. So I have been searching for the variable, but can't find it. I don't see it in the manifests for the services I have looked at. Where is it? Thanks Steffen
