Solaris10 stuck in maintenance mode

807559Nov 24 2008 — edited Nov 26 2008
Hi

I was trying to mount a disk in by adding a line to the /etc/vfstab file but the disk did not exist.

When I rebooted, it went directly into maintenance mode and now when I try to roll back the change I can see an error saying the the file system is read only.

This is the output in teh console when I reboot:
The / file system (/dev/vx/rdsk/bootdg/rootvol) is being checked.

WARNING - Unable to repair the / filesystem. Run fsck
manually (fsck -F ufs /dev/vx/rdsk/bootdg/rootvol).

Nov 24 05:15:26 svc.startd[7]: svc:/system/filesystem/usr:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/fs-usr" failed with exit status 95.
Nov 24 05:15:26 svc.startd[7]: system/filesystem/usr:default failed fatally: transitioned to maintenance (see 'svcs -xv' for details)
Requesting System Maintenance Mode
Console login service(s) cannot run


After I have logged in I can see that the filesystem is not available:
bash-3.00# svcs -xv
svc:/system/filesystem/usr:default (read/write root file systems mounts)
State: maintenance since Mon Nov 24 05:15:26 2008
Reason: Start method exited with $SMF_EXIT_ERR_FATAL.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS
See: /etc/svc/volatile/system-filesystem-usr:default.log
Impact: 12 dependent services are not running:
svc:/system/filesystem/minimal:default

svc:/system/device/fc-fabric:default

svc:/system/vxvm/vxvm-startvc:default

Any help would be appreciated
