The second drive has two... (3 Replies)

Hi all,
we have an existing system that was configured using just one of the (two) internal disks. I want to mirror the disk using SVM, but have realised there is no free slice for creating the metadb's. Is there a workaround I can use for this?
In the past we have always kept slice 7 free -... (8 Replies)

Hi Gurus,
For a particular slice I have change the minfree from 10% to 1% with tunefs -m and its allowing the creation of file on that slice, however when I am seeing the same with df -k it says that the slice is 100% full.
What could be reason for this?
Thanks (2 Replies)

mddb.cf - metadevice state database replica locations SYNOPSIS
/etc/lvm/mddb.cf DESCRIPTION
The /etc/lvm/mddb.cf file is created when the metadb(1M) command is invoked. You should never directly edit this file. The file /etc/lvm/mddb.cf is used by the metainit(1M) command to find the locations of the metadevice state databases replicas. The metadb command creates the file and updates it each time it is run. Similar information is entered in the /kernel/drv/md.conf file. Each metadevice state database replica has a unique entry in the /etc/lvm/mddb.cf file. Each entry contains the driver and minor unit num- bers associated with the block physical device where a replica is stored. Each entry also contains the block number of the master block, which contains a list of all other blocks in the replica. Entries in the /etc/lvm/mddb.cf file are of the form: driver_name minor_t daddr_t checksum where driver_name and minor_t represent the device number of the physical device storing this replica. daddr_t is the disk block address. checksum is used to make certain the entry has not been corrupted. A pound sign (#) introduces a comment. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Sample File The following example shows a mddb.cf file. #metadevice database location file do not hand edit #driver minor_t daddr_t device id checksum sd 152 16 id1,sd@SSEAGATE_JDD288110MC9LH/a -2613 In the example above, the value for daddr_t indicates that the offset from the start of a given partition is 16 disk blocks from the start of that partition.
