I tried to boot up the local Solaris 10 x86 operating system instead of from installation disk all along but encountered the following error:
Code:
cannot mount ‘/export’: directory is not empty
svc:/system/filesystem/local:default:WARNING:/usr/sbin/zfs mount –a failed: exit status 1
Nov 15 10:50:17 svc.startd[10]:svc:/system/filesystem/local: default: Method “/lib/svc/method/fs-local” failed with exit status 95.
svc.startd[10]: system/filesystem/local: default failed fatally: transitioned to maintenance
The bootup process is running ‘zfs mount –a’ which generates the same error when running it manually (cannot mount ‘/export’: directory is not empty), but I don’t know which table (/etc/.../*tab?) that it is looking up to get ‘/export’ and yet I can see this filesystem has already been mounted using ‘df –h’ as follows:
So I don’t understand where the issue is with mount /export which is preventing the system from booting into multi-user mode.
Not only have I not being able to create a zfs snapshot but appears to have disturbed possibly original mount point of local rpool as well.
Any idea on what to do?
Once again, I can only fix this issue with your persistent urgent advice.
Also, can I continue to generate zfs snapshot with zfs send -R -p rpool@001 > /mnt/usbdrive/hostname_rpool@001 once the system is running in multi-user mode? ie rpool is mounted.
Thanks in advance,
George
