Hi, I have a triple boot amd64 Linux/FreeBSD/OpenSolaris box used for Q/A. It is in a data center where I don't have easy physical access to the machine. It was working fine for months, now I see this at boot time on the serial console:
SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_86 64-bit Copyright 1983-2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Use is subject to license terms. NOTICE: mount: not a UFS magic number (0x0) panic[cpu0]/thread=fffffffffbc245a0: cannot mount root path /ramdisk:a fffffffffbc446d0 genunix:rootconf+113 () fffffffffbc44720 genunix:vfs_mountroot+65 () fffffffffbc44750 genunix:main+d8 () fffffffffbc44760 unix:_locore_start+92 () I suspect the problem was caused when, under Linux, somebody foolishly exported then imported the Solaris rootfs using the Linux FUSE ZFS stuff so they could pull data off the Solaris side without a reboot. I guess that must have done "something" to the pool so that Solaris no longer likes it. The linux ZFS tools list the history of the zpool as: History for 'rpool': 2008-05-06.08:39:33 zpool create -f rpool_tmp c5t0d0s0 2008-05-06.08:39:33 zfs create rpool_tmp/ROOT 2008-05-06.08:39:33 zfs set compression=off rpool_tmp/ROOT 2008-05-06.08:39:35 zfs set mountpoint=/a/export rpool_tmp/export 2008-05-06.08:39:35 zfs set mountpoint=/a/export/home rpool_tmp/export/home 2008-05-06.08:51:28 zpool set bootfs=rpool_tmp/ROOT/opensolaris rpool_tmp 2008-05-06.08:51:29 zfs set mountpoint=/export/home rpool_tmp/export/home 2008-05-06.08:51:29 zfs set mountpoint=/export rpool_tmp/export 2008-05-06.08:51:31 zpool export -f rpool_tmp 2008-05-06.08:51:38 zpool import -f 2344082471458403555 rpool 2008-05-06.08:51:59 zpool set bootfs=rpool/ROOT/opensolaris rpool 2008-05-06.08:52:20 zfs snapshot -r [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-09-07.12:22:55 zpool import -ocachefile=/etc/zfs-cachefile -d /tmp/dev/ -f rpool 2008-09-07.12:26:00 zpool export rpool 2008-09-07.12:34:58 zpool import -d /tmp/dev rpool 2008-09-07.09:59:40 zpool import -f rpool 2008-09-07.17:20:56 zpool import -d /var/tmp/dev -f rpool 2008-09-07.17:21:43 zpool export rpool 2008-09-07.17:27:35 zpool import -d /var/tmp/dev/ rpool 2008-09-07.17:32:10 zpool export rpool 2008-09-07.17:32:23 zpool import -d /var/tmp/dev/ rpool 2008-09-07.17:32:40 zpool export rpool 2008-09-07.10:41:13 zpool import rpool 2008-09-07.11:42:09 zpool export rpool 2008-09-07.11:42:24 zpool import rpool 2008-09-07.11:45:26 zpool export rpool 2008-09-07.18:52:35 zpool import -d /var/tmp/dev rpool The entries from 2008-09-07 were operations using the linux tools, prior are from the Solaris installation. Is there any possible way to rescue the solaris installation remotely, using the linux install or via grub or kmdb from the serial console? How? Alternatively, would it be possible to rescue the installation by either moving the disk to an OpenSolaris machine (b95) and doing something (what?)? Or by booting via the Indiana installation CD (what?).
