Have you checked that? I've thought of that but there's no way we can tell. The thing boots up as a mirror, with the submirrors in maintenance. There' s no way to tell which side of the mirror we booted from, and even if so, after several manual invocation of "metasync", it should be good. The problem, I think, is that metsync -r (called by mdmonitor) doesn't get run (because mdmonitor can't find its method.) It's really not a "real" problem (in that the disks are out of sync), it's the the process that's the problem. Reboots have been done gracefully, as init6, so there's no administrative reason the disks shoulld be in some corrupt state. -CT > If it "shows up later" and you don't have > /lib as a separate filesystem (and the file isn't a symlink), I'm having a > hard time coming up with an alternate hypothesis but it's usually a > transient condition that gets better once you've booted and the mirrors have > synced. > > (No, I haven't used SDS recently enough to remember how to check that.) > > liane > _______________________________________________ smf-discuss mailing list smf-discuss at opensolaris.org
