Do you have a lot of files in /etc/mnttab, including nfs filesystems mounted from "server1,server2:/path"? And you're using lucreate for a ZFS root? It should be "quick"; we are changing a number of things in Solaris 10 update 8 and we hope it will be faster/ Casper _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
