Hello,
after applying the recent patches to a V240 running Sol 9 (04/03) (now 117171-17) and a reconfigure reboot the system came up with the message:
checking ufs filesystems
/dev/dsk/emcpower0a is logging (ok, first disk in a emc-box)
/dev/dsk/emcpower1a is logging (ok, 2nd disk in a emc-box)
wait: no child processes
Give root-password.....
Assuming that this is not a problem of a filesystem (I fsck'd), its a md-problem, I checked the metastat, that said all submirrors need maintenance, e.g.:
d1: Mirror
Submirror 0: d11
State: Needs maintenance
Submirror 1: d21
State: Needs maintenance
Pass: 1
Read option: roundrobin (default)
Write option: parallel (default)
Size: 2097414 blocks (1.0 GB)
I did nothing else, logged out (resuming mountall, ...) and the system came up normally with all filesystems mounted. Then I checked metastat again and it said all ok. Strange. I checked the messages and found the following:
Jan 25 10:09:18 u4100039 md_mirror: [ID 379821 kern.info] NOTICE: md: B_FAILFAST I/O disabled on sd
Jan 25 10:09:18 u4100039 genunix: [ID 454863 kern.info] dump on /dev/md/dsk/d3 size 2048 MB
What is wrong here? What does this "wait: No child processes" mean?
When the machine is up all md-modules are loaded,
u4100039:root:/var/adm$ modinfo | grep md
17 11c085a 2d32b 85 1 md (Solaris Volume Manager base mod)
31 781f0000 d0c5 - 1 md_trans (Solaris Volume Manager trans mo)
32 781fe000 ed0c - 1 md_raid (Solaris Volume Manager raid mod)
33 78214000 2a03 - 1 md_hotspares (Solaris Volume Manager hot spar)
34 7820e000 4d1c - 1 md_sp (Solaris Volume Manager soft par)
35 1340d35 54e0 - 1 md_stripe (Solaris Volume Manager stripes )
36 1345d89 126be - 1 md_mirror (Solaris Volume Manager mirrors )
72 12e7e19 107d - 1 md5 (MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm)
141 781091b1 1004 - 1 md_notify (Solaris Volume Manager notifica)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Christian
