We have an E450 with 2 disks (c0t0d0 & c2t0d0) and all the file systems are 
mirrored using Solaris Volume Manager with logging turned on. To upgrade the 
OS, we detach the c2t0d0 submirrors, perform a Live Upgrade (LU) and luactivate 
the new BE. We have performed the above process multiple times without issues. 
After we boot into the new BE there is a necessity to mount the old BE file 
systems for reference purposes. Sometimes when we mount the regular slices 
(/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s*) it panics the system with "UFS panic free: freeing free 
block" message.

Here are my questions:

* Are we doing something illegal when we mount the regular slices 
(/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s*)?
* Are the file system getting corrupted because of the metadevice and logging 
layers?
* If the file system is corrupted, why isn't mount capturing the corruption?
* How would I access the old BE file systems (which are under Solaris Volume 
Manger control) from my new BE? 

Thanks in advance.
