Solaris

Hi friends..

Here is my problem..

I mounted a slice and make it permanent through entering the information in /etc/vfstab file ,,,but when i give df -kh ,,in the output the slice information is not appearing..but i can be able to open the mount point and access files as usual..I didn't give "yes" for mount at boot option as i have installed my solaris in VMware.
Is this the problem??Why that slice is not appearing in the output??

post the output of:

cat /etc/vfstab
df -h
mount

thnx

#cat /etc/vfstab
#device device mount FS fsck mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options

please test the following:

cd /slice4
touch xxx
cd /
mount /slice4
cd /slice4
ls -l

question: is there a file called "xxx"?

Yes Duke,,

After completing the procedure you specified,,i didn't find any file xxx in that directory,,,and also some other files,,,but finally there are some files which i created previously...

After all,,i found that slice and its mount point in the df -kh output...
I understood that manually everytime i have to mount the slice as i didn't specified "yes" at mount at boot options...But should i need to do like this for every slice including root.

Will the files created after mounting the slice lasts after reboot also..
Can u please clear this concept?

set mount at boot to "yes" for /slice4 don't touch the other entries in /etc/vfstab! after that the files you create in /slice4 will last after a reboot.

Hi Duke,,

Just now to check the files that are created after mounting /slice4,,i rebooted the system..(without changing boot options to "yes")
After rebooting i gave #cd /slice4 and i got all the files which i lost previously before mounting slice4 with cmd(#mount /slice4)

i thought that all these files will again vanish as soon as i give mount /slice4...but when i gave
#mount /slice4-------got message as
/slice4 is busy and is already mounted

Now how to get the files which i created after mounting /slice4?
