Hi, have few meta devices which were cleared some year ago but still appear in /dev/md/rdsk.
If I create a same meta device again, it shows old timestamp of 2009yr
I tried devfsadm -C to clear unlinked links but of no use.
What am I missing ? (2 Replies)

ln
LN(1) General Commands Manual LN(1)NAME
ln, clone - create a link to a file
SYNOPSIS
ln [-ifmrRvx] file [name]
ln [-ifrRvx] file ... dir
clone [-ifmvx] file [name]
OPTIONS -i Ask if ok to remove a file
-f Remove existing links
-m Merge trees, disable the into-a-directory trick
-rR Recursively link a directory tree
-v Display what ln is doing
-x Do not cross device boundaries
EXAMPLES
ln file newname # Make newname a synonym for file
ln /usr/games/chess # Create a link called chess
DESCRIPTION
A directory entry is created for name . The entry points to file . Henceforth, name and file can be used interchangeably. If name is not
supplied, the last component of file is used as the link name. If more than one file is supplied or the name refers to an existing direc-
tory, links will be created in that directory. An existing name will not be removed unless the -i or -f flag is specified.
Clone is a convenient synonym for ln -fmr to create a so-called "link farm", a directory full of links to the original tree.
