root mirroring problem

[Guest_imported]

Hi all,

We are facing problem while we mirror root fs.

We already configurred raid5 on server which was created using metatool utility. And the server was working fine.

Now after 2 months we planned to mirror root fs. root slice is c0t0d0s0.
We created same size slice (c0t1d0s0) on second harddisk.

We executed following commands.

metainit -f d21 1 1 c0t0d0s0
metainit d22 1 1 c0t1d0s0
metainit d20 -m d21
metaroot d20
lockfs -fa
reboot


Now after rebooting the system, system was not coming up. It was giving message
'metadevice database have broken components/slices. Delete broken components'

and system is not coming up. Not showing any raid5 metadevices.

Any suggestions.


Regards

PAvikumar

You might have to boot from CD and mount your root partitian. Then edit /etc/vfstab
to get back to booting from your boot disk so you can get the system back up.
Then go through setting up the mirrors again.
