Dear all,
I'm trying to metadb a slice to a new statedatabase. As per the table below
the slice is 9.94Mb. Machine is Solaris 9.
Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 14087 + 2 (reserved cylinders)
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 root wm 105 - 457 3.43GB (353/0/0) 7184256
1 swap wu 0 - 103 1.01GB (104/0/0) 2116608
2 backup wm 0 - 14086 136.71GB (14087/0/0) 286698624
3 var wm 459 - 473 149.06MB (15/0/0) 305280
4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
7 unassigned wm 14086 - 14086 9.94MB (1/0/0) 20352
I next used metadb to create the first state dB:
[root@test1]root$ metadb -a -f /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7
metadb: test1: /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7: No such device or address
OK, Odd. So I tried to do a newfs on the partition:
[root@test1]root$ newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7: Device busy
An fuser shows me that vold pid is using that partition (Que?) so I kill
vold.
[root@test1]root$ /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
[root@test1]root$ !newfs
newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7: No such device or address
[root@test1]root$ !metadb
metadb -a -f /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7
metadb: test1: /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7: No such device or address
I reboot just to check its the same, and it is. Any clues?
Thanks to everyone who replied to the SMC / mirroring / extents question.
Rdgs/Atentamente,
Simon.
