Ok, this is the script I am running (as a background process). This script doesn't matter much, it's just here for reference, as I'm running into problems just running the savecore command while the zpool import is running.
#################################################################### #!/bin/bash count=1 rm /var/crash/opensol/bounds /usr/bin/savecore -L while [ 1 ] do if [ $count == 10 ] then count=1 rm /var/crash/opensol/bounds fi savecore -L count=`expr $count + 1` done #################################################################### opensol was the name of the system before I renamed it to wd40, crash data is still set to be put in /var/crash/opensol I have started another zpool import of the vault volume #################################################################### r...@wd40:~# zpool import pool: vault id: 4018273146420816291 state: ONLINE action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier. config: vault ONLINE raidz1-0 ONLINE c3d0 ONLINE c3d1 ONLINE c4d0 ONLINE c4d1 ONLINE r...@wd40:~# zpool import 4018273146420816291 & [1] 1093 #################################################################### After starting the import, savecore -L no longer finishes r...@wd40:/var/adm# savecore -L dumping to /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/dump, offset 65536, content: kernel 0:05 100% done 100% done: 153601 pages dumped, dump succeeded It should be saying that it's saving to /var/crash/opensol/, but instead it just hangs and never returns me to a prompt Previous to running zpool import, the savecore command took anywhere from 10-15 seconds to finish. If I cd to /var/crash/opensol, there is not a new file created I tried firing off savecore again, same result. A ps listing shows the savecore command r...@wd40:/var/crash/opensol# ps -ef | grep savecore root 1092 1061 0 22:27:55 ? 0:01 savecore -L root 1134 1083 0 22:33:28 pts/3 0:00 grep savecore root 1113 787 0 22:30:23 ? 0:01 savecore -L (One of these is from the script I was running when I started the import manually, the other when I just ran the savecore -L command by itself). I cannot kill these processes, even with a kill -9 I then hard rebooted my server yet again (as it hangs if it's in process of a zpool import) After the reboot, all I did was ssh in, disable gdm, run my zfs import command, and try another savecore (this time not trying to use my script above first, just a simple savecore -L as root from the command line), once again it hangs r...@wd40:~# zpool import 4018273146420816291 & [1] 783 r...@wd40:~# savecore -L dumping to /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/dump, offset 65536, content: kernel 0:05 100% done 100% done: 138876 pages dumped, dump succeeded -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
