Dave,
I'm copying the zfs-discuss alias on this as well...
It's possible that not all necessary patches have been installed or they
maybe hitting CR# 6428258. If you reboot the zone does it continue to
end up in maintenance mode? Also do you know if the necessary ZFS/Zones
patches have been updated?
Take a look at our webpage which includes the patch list required for
Solaris 10:

Thanks,
George

Hi,
I have a customer with the following problem.
He has a V440 running Solaris 10 1/06 with zones. In the case notes he
says that he installed a couple Sol 10 patches and now he has problems
booting his zones. After doing some checking he found that it appears
to be related to a couple of ZFS patches (122650 and 122640). I found a
bug (6271309 / lack of zvol breaks all ZFS commands), but not sure if it
applies to this situation. Any ideas on this.
Here is the customers problem description...
Hardware Platform: Sun Fire V440
Component Affected: OS Base
OS and Kernel Version: SunOS snb-fton-bck2 5.10 Generic_118833-18 sun4u
sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440
Describe the problem: Patch 122650-02 combined with patch 122640-05
seems to have broken no global zones at boot time. I'm just guessing at
the exact patches since they were both added recently, and involve the
files /usr/sbin/zfs and /lib/svc/method/fs-local which combined, cause
the issue.
This section of code in /lib/svc/method/fs-local:
if [ -x /usr/sbin/zfs ]; then
/usr/sbin/zfs mount -a >/dev/msglog 2>&1
rc=$?
if [ $rc -ne 0 ]; then
msg="WARNING: /usr/sbin/zfs mount -a failed: exit status
$rc"
echo $msg
echo "$SMF_FMRI:" $msg >/dev/msglog
result=$SMF_EXIT_ERR_FATAL
fi
fi
causes the local file system service to exit with an error, and stop the
boot process. The reason why is that the non global zone does not have
access to /dev/zfs so the "/usr/sbin/zfs mount -a" command exits with an
error code.
This system is SRS Net Connect enabled: No
I will be sending an Explorer file: No
List steps to reproduce the problem(if applicable): Global zone:
bash-3.00# /usr/sbin/zfs mount -a
bash-3.00# echo $?
0
CVS Zone:
bash-3.00# zlogin cvs

# echo $?

=========
It Looks like /dev/zfs is not created in the non-global zone, but is
required for
the startup script change included in patch 122650-02:
