The machine failed to come up as it was unable to mount the /export partition. I tried to FSCK it and had no luck. Basically the /export partition was mounted on /dev/cciss/c0d0p5, this device is not in /dev/cciss/c0d0p5. Below are some relevant outputs fdisk -l <UL> Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 72.8 GB, 72833679360 bytes 255 heads, 32 sectors/track, 17433 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8160 * 512 = 4177920 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 * 1 1287 5250944 83 Linux /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 1288 1801 2097120 82 Linux swap /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 1802 3857 8388480 83 Linux /dev/cciss/c0d0p4 3858 17433 55390080 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 3858 17433 55390064 83 Linux </UL> cat /etc/fstab <UL> LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 LABEL=/export /export ext3 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 </UL> ls -al /dev/cciss/c0d0* <UL> brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 0 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 1 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 10 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p10 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 11 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p11 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 12 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p12 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 13 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p13 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 14 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p14 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 15 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p15 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 2 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 3 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 4 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 6 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 7 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p7 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 8 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p8 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 104, 9 Jun 24 2004 /dev/cciss/c0d0p9 </UL> Can anyone explain why this device may have disappeared and how to get it back? (Is there a Solaris "boot -r" or "devfsadm" type command to reconfigure the devices?). Also, how do you reconcile "LABEL=/export" to the device? (I just happen to know that LABEL=/export is c0d0p5).
