I am running Solaris 10 on a SPARC Sun Enterprise 420R server. It was working properly, when there was a problem with the power and it shut off without a proper shutdown.
When I boot I get the following error:
I then enter in my root password for system maintenance. When I run svcs -x, this is the output:
The output for svcs -v is too long to type out here, but it lists all the dependent services, I presume.
The content of the file /etc/svc/volatile/system-filesystem-root:default.log is:
When I try to run /sbin/mount -F ufs /boot from the command prompt itself, I get a similar error... Mount point cannot be determined.
I have also tried running the command /sbin/mount -a which seems to work in terms of mounting the entire filesystem. At that point I can browse all data, but have no idea how to get the services started and server fully booted.
I have fun fsck and it runs completely with no prompts or errors.
Here is also a copy of my /etc/vfstab:
Sorry for the formatting, I had to type it out since I can't get any files directly off of the server.
The last entry in the vfstab file is the only entry I added myself. It is a secondary hard disk that I mounted to the directory /data. Everything else was automatically created at install according to the partitions that I defined.
To anyone who cares about the solution to this problem, here are the steps I performed:
1) mount -o remount,rw /
This was run because I couldn't edit any files in the / filesystem
2) echo >> /etc/vfstab
This is to add the newline to the end of the vfstab file.
