Hi Geoff, That "missing space" is generally referred to as filesystem overhead. It is used by journaling filesystems to speed up recovery when running an fsck. Even modern Solaris ufs will lose space. If you don't want to lose the space, you can make a ufs filesystem and then mount it with the

Hi Sigmund, I would try initialising the disk group from scratch again, but don't mkfs the filesystem. Chances are that the dg info has gone west, but the filesystem maybe intact. Also, if the dg has gone, then it won't let you create the dg with the same name. Then a restore might be needed.
