You need to know what the original configuration was. Either written down somewhere, or a copy of the metastat (or metastat -p, which is even better because you can simply use that output as input to metainit) and then simply metainit the device. (With -k for raid-5.) Without the documented configuration, you can just guess at what it looks like, metainit, and try accessing it read-only to see if you've done it right. (Of course, if it was a metaset, then just metaimport it. If the metassist command was used originally, then you'll be dealing with a metaset.) -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
