Many many moons ago, I submitted a CR into bugs about a highly reproducible panic that occurs if you try to re-share a lofi mounted image. That CR has AFAIK long since disappeared - I even forget what it was called.
This server is used for doing network installs. Let's say you have a 64 bit iso lofi-mounted and shared. You do the install, and then wish to switch to a 32 bit iso. You unshare, umount, delete the loopback, and then lofiadm the new iso, mount it and then share it. Panic, every time. Is this such a rare use-case that no one is interested? I have the backtrace and cores if anyone wants them, although such were submitted with the original CR. This is pretty frustrating since you start to run out of ideas for mountpoint names after a while unless you forget and get the panic. FWIW (even on a freshly booted system after a panic) # lofiadm zyzzy.iso /dev/lofi/1 # mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt mount: /dev/lofi/1 is already mounted or /mnt is busy # mount -O -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt # share /mnt # If you unshare /mnt and then do this again, it will panic. This has been a bug since before Open Solaris came out. It doesn't happen if the iso is originally on UFS, but UFS really isn't an option any more. FWIW the dataset containing the isos has the sharenfs attribute set, although it doesn;t have to be actually mounted by any remote NFS for this panic to occur. Suggestions for a workaround most welcome!
