Hi there,

I'm using Solaris 8 and facing a strange problem
after exchanging a harddisk.

To expand the capacity of my system I changed a
harddisk and replaced it with a bigger one.
before that all my system partitions where recognized as

c1todos0 for /
and
c1t0d0s3 for /usr

after that (and I don't know why ) the same partitions are
at

c2t0d0s0
and
c2t0d0s3

To be able to use my system I changed the /etc/vfstab on
my system to be able to boot the partitions.
The problem I face now is, that after that changes
the systems fails to mount the /usr partitions.
It complains, that it can't mount c1todo. It seems
not to read in my changed vfstab.

Does anyone know waht could be my problem ?
Is there another configuration file which I have to change ?

or

Is there a way to change the settings for my partitions back to
c1....  ?

Hope anyone can help.

Greetings,

Daniel Wetzler

no, if You don't work with metadevices.

if You remove SCSI-controller 1 and chane some Files yes, but don't try
it, You will mess up Your system.

Hi Horst and all,


Thank's for your answer.
Below is my vfstab file (Sorry for bad newlines etc it's due to copying 
from a bad terminal emulation).
The difference is that within the former vfstab file all devices 
beginning with "c2" where also set to "c1". The device "c1t1d0s0" is on 
the same bus (internal fibrechannel of SF880) than the others but
recognised as "c1" (I don't understand that anyway).
Does anyone have an idea how to solve the problem ?

/ /usr and /var are mountet automatically at bootime so the have
normaly the option no in the column mount at boot time

the first line looks just plain wrong (c1t?d0s2 surely?) and you can't
have two lines for the same filesystem...
