On Friday, June 15, 07, I patched the global zone on a machine with 2 local zones. The global zone has 4 file systems connected (but not mounted) from a 3320 storage array. Using lofiadm -a, i created 4 devices which I imported to the local zones - 2 to each zone. I then mounted the 4 file systems.
After patching and rebooting the global zone, the imported lofi devices would not mount. The error messages was mount: /dev/lofi/1 is not this fstype. The same error held for the other 3 devices. ls -l /dev/*lofi/* in the global zone showed the devices present. I reran the lofiadm -a command and the devices were recreated, starting, again, with /dev/lofi/1 and not 5 which I expected. I was not specifying the disk device (c5todos0) and lofiadm creates them sequentially. When all lofi devices were recreated, I ran mount -a in the local zones and voila, the file systems mounted. I suspect a bug in one of the applied patches. I have submitted a bug report (my case # 4106) but I'm hoping someone has seen this and can lead me to the fix (short of running lofiadm -a every time the global zone boots).
