In the past I would often boot up into single user mode, manually mount a bunch of filesystems read-write and then ^D later to continue on.
With SMF, what I thought I should do is: ok boot -m milestone=none (login) # mount -o remount / # svcadm milestone all However this causes filesystem/usr to report an error because it can't run fsck. Ok, I expected the solution to that to be: # svcadm clear filesystem/usr That restarted filesystem/usr and in doing so, I got the fsck error again and found myself in a loop, that I eventually got out of with a reboot. The /usr filesystem is part of /. I looked at filesystem/usr with svcs -x to see if there was anything extra it was depending on and looked in the log file but all to no avail. What I wanted to do was tell SMF "ignore the problem with filesystem/usr and mark it as online" (because it already was) so that the system could continue through to "all". What was I doing wrong here? btw, this was with snv_44. Darren
