Problems with VolumeManager and mirroring swap in Solaris 10

Hi all,

I've set up a new Solaris 10 on a Sun-Fire V240 having 2 identical internal
disks.
After installing the January 2008 recomended patches I tried to setup
mirroring of
the system disk. Mirroring of all partitions works fine but when I try to
setup mirror
of swap I run into problems.
Creating of first part of the mirror (metainit -f d10 c1t0d0s1) and the mirror
itself
(metainit d1 -m d10) works fine and after a reboot I see the metadevice is
fine.

But when I attach the second part of the mirror the system is resyncing for
some
time, then the system will get no responding for appr. 2 or 3 hours and when
it's
accessible again (seems that resync is then finished) I see the metadevice
being
in maintenance-stat (both partitions of the mirror for swap).

Anyone else seeing this behaviour in Solaris 10? Any idea how to solve this?

Thanks a lot,
christian
