Hi, I've recently installed S10 11/08 via Jumpstart on an old Ultra 5, and after a successful install, it fails to boot multi-user due to svc:/system/device/local:default dropping into maintenance:
# svcs -vx svc:/system/device/local:default (Standard Solaris device configuration.) State: maintenance since Wed Jul 08 00:28:15 2009 Reason: Start method exited with $SMF_EXIT_ERR_FATAL. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS See: /etc/svc/volatile/system-device-local:default.log Impact: 10 dependent services are not running: svc:/system/filesystem/minimal:default svc:/system/manifest-import:default svc:/milestone/single-user:default svc:/system/filesystem/local:default svc:/milestone/multi-user:default svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default svc:/network/inetd-upgrade:default svc:/system/console-login:default svc:/network/rpc/bind:default svc:/milestone/devices:default In /etc/svc/volatile/system-device-local:default.log I see: [ Jul 8 00:20:06 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/devices-local") ] [ Jul 8 00:20:06 Timeout override by svc.startd. Using infinite timeout ] internal error: failed to initialize ZFS library [ Jul 8 00:22:12 Method "start" exited with status 95 ] I am not using ZFS on this system (with 512MB max RAM, what's the point?), and the problem appears to be in this section of /lib/svc/method/devices-local: # Create any zvol devices if [ -x /usr/sbin/zfs ]; then /usr/sbin/zfs volinit || exit $SMF_EXIT_ERR_FATAL # # Add swap again to allow for swapping to zvols. # /sbin/swapadd fi The zfs command is what produces the "failed to initalize ZFS library" message. The zfs driver is not loaded, as I would expect, so perhaps I am missing something, but I would expect that if no zpool is defined, then we should not try to initialize any zfs datasets. I tried searching for open bugs and googling for this issue, but didn't turn up anything enlightening. Anyone have an idea as to how I could get out of this bind?
