vfstab entries not automounting
Please see my vfstab entries below..

Code:
#device         device          mount           FS      fsck    mount   mount
#to mount       to fsck         point           type    pass    at boot options

swap    -       /www2/tmp       tmpfs   -       yes     -

The lines marked in red is the problem area. Please find the o/p of df -k below.

Here only /proc is mounting not the others mentioned in vfstab. I tried manually mounting this and got the following warning/error.

Code:
 bash-3.00$ /usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/mount /proc /www1/proc
  Password:
  mount: Warning: Line for "/proc" in vfstab has too many entries
  mount: Warning: Line for "/proc" in vfstab has too many entries
  mount: Warning: Line for "/proc" in vfstab has too many entries
  mount: /proc not a block device

Can anybody help in troubleshooting this?

p.s: I removed some lines about a few NFS mounts from the vfstab just to save some space.

The error is pretty descriptive. You have 2 columns too many in those additional /proc mount entries. Try:
Code:
#device         device          mount           FS      fsck    mount   mount
#to mount       to fsck         point           type    pass    at boot options
#
fd      -       /dev/fd fd      -       no      -
/proc   -       /proc   proc    -       no      -       -
/proc   -       /www1/proc      proc    -       yes     -
/proc   -       /www2/proc      proc    -       yes     -
/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/swap        -       -       swap    -       no      -
/devices        -       /devices        devfs   -       no      -
sharefs -       /etc/dfs/sharetab       sharefs -       no      -
ctfs    -       /system/contract        ctfs    -       no      -
objfs   -       /system/object  objfs   -       no      -
swap    -       /tmp    tmpfs   -       yes     -
swap    -       /www1/tmp       tmpfs   -       yes     -
swap    -       /www2/tmp       tmpfs   -       yes     -
