Can't metattach root partition
I'm mirroring up a T2000. Able to metainit and metattach all partitions with the exception of root. Getting the following error:

metattach: <hostname>; c1t1d0s0; is mounted on /

I'm stumped. By the way, target 1 is the boot disk.

you can run metaroot to reset the system to boot from volume

eg.

#metaroot d0

Did that prior to trying to attach the mirror.

check the entry in /etc/vfstab and /etc/system if the its there where the volume is mount in those file then reboot the system and try attaching the disk

Question. In /etc/system - the MDD root line:

rootdev:/pseudo/md@0:0,10,blk

The "md@0:0",...do either of the zeros represent what disk is the actual boot disk/device? Either 0 or 1?

As per my understanding, if its md then its mean it meatdevice and its shows that the entry has been placed into the /etc/system to instruct that the root file system is on pseudo file system.
