Well, I must be not focusing on something in your post. OK, /var is screwed up somehow. So you break the mirror, do nothing to repair /var, and boot from one side of the mirror. And then.. 'we received the same "can't write to /var/adm/utmp" error.' Was that not the expected result?

You say 'fsck all the slices on t0 and t2 except t0's /var slice since it's mounted in ro mode.' How did it come to pass that /var was mounted in ro mode? Even if you couldn't get it unmounted for some odd reason, fsck -n should have been possible. Repairing /var seems like the key to recovery. What's wrong with boot into single user mode, square away /var, and reboot? Smilie

wtmpx

utmpx(4)							   File Formats 							  utmpx(4)

NAME

       utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx database entry formats

SYNOPSIS

       #include <utmpx.h>
       /var/adm/utmpx
       /var/adm/wtmpx

DESCRIPTION

       The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database files that have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files.

       The  utmpx database contains user access and accounting information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and login(1). The wtmpx database
       contains the history of user access and accounting information for the  utmpx database.

USAGE

       Applications should not access these databases directly, but should use the functions described on the getutxent(3C) manual page to  inter-
       act with the utmpx and wtmpx databases to ensure that they are maintained consistently.

FILES

       /var/adm/utmpx	       user access and adminstration information

       /var/adm/wtmpx	       history of user access and adminstrative information

SEE ALSO

       getutxent(3C), wait(3C)wait.h(3HEAD)
