You are more likely to see a problem on the console.
Here is another clue... I'd posted earlier about but on the general list. I use a kvm with 4-6 machines. Its only a 4port kvm so if I want to hook my laptop into it I must disconnect something else. For mnths now that something else has been the opensolaris machine. I normally access it via ssh anyway and don't use its own console so often. I've discovered that if the Osol machine is restarted for any reason while the KVM stuff is disconnected... it causes quite a hubbub. During boot the thing starts sounding like a Paris police siren with two tones going like High low, High low, High low, continuously and will not complete booting. If I shut it down and reconnect the KVM stuff (vga cable and two usb cables) then it will boot ok. Disconnecting KVM stuff is fine long as the machine doesn't get rebooted in that state. Seems really odd and only started within a few mnths. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
