Hi all,
This system, E4500/Solaris9, refuses to boot up without first making
sure I am present!
Any idea what might be causing this, please see the log bellow.
It seems fsck on my md60, which is a raid5 volume mounted on /data01,
dies with error:
wait: No child processes
After the boot resumes, and for that to happen I just need to issue my
root password then exit from the shell immediately, after that, I get
this other strange error from volume manager, please see bellow...
We had a disk failure recently on this raid5 md, we replaced the disk
with a new one, never before used in this config, then used metareplace
to replace it, everything works fine since, even after reboots, except
for this error message... metastat shows no problems, except that its
output is missing the list of devices at the end:
...
Device Relocation Information:
Device Reloc Device ID
I searched google and found one person describing a similar fsck error
on boot time... he said he fixed it by adding "forceload: drv/sd" to his
/etc/system, in my case this command is already there!
Questions:
- How do I fix this? or how do I go about troubleshooting it more?
- what is the exact fsck command line Solaris uses at boot time in this
case? given logging is enabled.
- What might happen if I disabled that file system from being fscked at
boot time? by putting a dash in its line in /etc/vfstab ?
Thank you very much, I will summerize.

My /etc/vfstab has no non-printibale chars or the like, and it looks
like this:
#device device mount FS fsck
mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot
