Addition: Filesystem-problems after patching Solaris 8

Hi again,

many of you suggested looking for overlapped slices, so I've taken a look in
the partitioning table. The table looks fine, the only overlapping slice is
slice 2 (backup), as usual.
One ofy you (Peter Stokes, thanks for your answer!) said it's no problem,
this message is normal when the filesystem is mounted. Hm, could be - I will
try to boot the system via network, and run fsck while the FS are not
mounted. But, unfortunately the machine is an install server, and the
rulechecker doesn't like the inconsistencies - it refuses to work. So I
don't think it's normal behaviour...

kind regards, and thanks to all who replied,

Harald
