Perhaps you should actually follow my steps > to reproduce the issue? Perhaps if you asked more nicely then i would. If you didn't unmount the UFS filesystem "srv" before the 'zpool create', then try that. If you did and it still fails, then ask the install/jumpstart people. eric
Eric, The UFS filesystem is being unmounted each time because the system is being *reinstalled* each time from bare metal. The first time it is being installed with a UFS file system on slice 6. The second time the system is *reinstalled* with slice 6 left unnamed and a finish script failing to create a zpool from the jumpstart miniroot. I can reliably reproduce this in my lab on a number of different sparc hardware platforms (V120 and V210's with both 1 and 2 disks). regards matthew ps. I had already opened a support case with Sun before posting to the list and the engineer's response was to email me back the "correct" command syntax and a copy of the zpool man page which he had obviously not read himself because his "correct" syntax was blatantly wrong. Please make an effort to read my whole email. If you need any clarifications on how to reproduce the problem then I'll be glad to help. pps. resending this because I was not subscribed to the list. -- matthew http://wadofstuff.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
