It seems that the disk layout appears to be incorrect.
* /dev/rdsk/c0t5000C50039FEF187d0s0 partition map
*
* Dimensions:
* 512 bytes/sector
* 63 sectors/track
* 255 tracks/cylinder
* 16065 sectors/cylinder
* 17847 cylinders
* 17845 accessible cylinders
*
* Flags:
* 1: unmountable
* 10: read-only
*
* Unallocated space:
* First Sector Last
* Sector Count Sector
* 286678272 1653 286679924
*
* First Sector Last
* Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory
0 2 00 20352 286657920 286678271
2 5 00 0 286678272 286678271
8 1 01 0 20352 20351
The prtvtoc shows that there are 16065 sectors per cylinder. If I take this number and multiply it the number of accessible cylinders I should get a sector count of 286679924
but ( 16065*17845 = 286679925 ) and 286679925 - 286679924 = -1
The disk is currently only partitioned out to have 286678271 as the last sector. The unallocated space is the missing space that is now appears to be causing my or rather LU issue.
I guess I could make a flash archive of the system and use JET and the FLAR
