I think you're missing a step...<br><br>1. FSCK and repair all errors in all mirrors<br>2. Metaroot to raw disk partition<br>3. Use the metadetach command so that the upgrade is only performed on a single submirror of each mirror<br>4. Remove all DiskSuite rc files (including sumbolic links)<br>5. Upgrade<br>6. Reinstall DiskSuite<br>7. Metaroot root device back to metadevice<br>8. reboot<br>9. metattach all submirrors detached in step #3<br><br>After following these steps, your upgrade should be happy and successful.<br><br>Good luck! <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>Yahoo Messenger: coily2
