- Uhh, I wouldn't remove anything yet. My hunch is that this is a
- misleading error message - something that can occur if a "df" of
- /dev/hd4 failed. Try this (can't hurt) :
- - instead of running "getrootfs hdisk0", run "getrootfs hdisk0 sh"
- where you can replace hdisk0 with whatever your boot disk is.
-
- - This will enter you into a subshell after varying on the rootvg.
- Now, run "fsck" on /, /usr/, /var, /tmp ...
-
- - If fsck didn't find any problems, make sure your filesystems are still
- there. Try mount the filesystems by hand:
- mount /dev/hd2 /usr
- echo /usr/* # do you see all files there?
- mount /dev/hd9var /var
- mount /dev/hd3 /tmp
-
- Let me know what happens (email is faster than posting) ...
