Solaris

I am not able to boot into solaris. I am getting following message.

The / file system (/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0) is being checked.

Warning - Unable to repair the / filesystem. Run fsck manually(fsck -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0).


I ran fsck manually but it didn't work.
Help from anyone would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You must boot from the install CD and run fsck on the raw partition. Do not use the "-y" flag with fsck in this instance.

Boot from the install CD:

Code:

ok boot cdrom -s

Then run fsck on the raw partition:

Code:

# fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

You may need to run this several times to fix everything.

Be prepared to rebuild this system if you are not successful in repairing the root partition - I did this many times before I started using ZFS on my boot drives.
