All,
I am perplexed at why I am seeing what I am. Can someone possibly explain
this to me?
I am running Solaris 8 on a 280R and want to grow two partitions on my boot
drive with the spare drive available. So I went through the steps that I
thought I needed to do this.
Set up the two partitions on the spare drive as follows:
Slice 4 unassigned wm 0-11614(cyl) 16.00gb(size)
33555735(blocks)
Slice 5 unassigned wm 11615-23229 16.00gb 33555735
I then created my state database replicas as follows (both disks have slice
7 available):
metadb -a -f -c3 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s7
metadb -a -f -c3 /dev/dsk/c1t1dos7
I then unmount my two boot disk partitions in order to add the spare drive
disk space / create my metadevices:
umount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s4
umount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5
metainit -f d41 2 1 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s4 1 /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s4
metainit -f d51 2 1 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5 1 /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s5
I edit my vfstab as follows:
/dev/md/dsk/d41 /dev/md/rdsk/d41 /oob-in ufs 2 yes
-
/dev/md/dsk/d51 /dev/md/rdsk/d51 /coi-out ufs 2
yes -
I then mount and grow the filesystem:
mount /oob-in
mount /coi-out
growfs -M /oob-in /dev/md/dsk/d41
growfs -M /coi-out /dev/md/dsk/d51
Run the following command (I have no idea what it does):
lockfs -fa
init 0
boot
EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.... But when I run the metastat command, the "Start
Block" for /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s4 starts at 2889 versus 0 for all the rest. This
doesn't make any sense to me why it is different. And that particular slice
starts at the beginning of it's disk. Can someone please explain why I am
seeing this and if it is important. I do not want to end up deploying this
system and it fail. I will summarize.
