Operating Systems Solaris Lun remove, stuck in /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk Post 302800637 by DustinT on Tuesday 30th of April 2013 08:09:00 AM

No, it's probably not a silly question. But, mucking about inside /dev isn't something I'm willing to do with my current skills. It needs to be removed because we had to make some changes on our storage and that LUN is no longer available. Now I just need to convince the server to just let it go. Smilie

If it won't let you do that with the system up, take it down, boot from CD, mount the HD root filesystem under /a, and get in there and do it.

Or am I missing something here?

Why do you necessarily need to get rid of it anyway?
Well.... I decided to delete the /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk references. While booted into single user mode, it worked with no problem. But, when I ran a devfsadm -Cv it recreated all the references. Smilie

Code:
bash-3.2# devfsadm -Cv

So, the driver that providing the 'ssd' support appears to be stuck in a loop where it's refusing to let go of the old references??
