i am working on sun v445 server with four internal disks. i created metadevices fo internal disks and updated the vfstab accordingly. but when i booted the system i got the message The /var file system (/dev/md/rdsk/d120) is being checked. fsck: could not stat /dev/md/dsk/d120: No such file or directory WARNING - Unable to repair the /var filesystem. Run fsck manually (fsck -F ufs /dev/md/rdsk/d120). Exit the shell when done to continue the boot process. on executing the fsck command it gives the same output. and the system returns to single user maintenance mode if i try to go to run level 3 the output is cannot access/var/adm/utmpx. how can i proceed in this case ? can nybody please help

The reason you cannot go to multiuser is that the /var filesystem is not mounted. Try manually mounting it and see what happens. Check your vfstab entry. It should be something like the following: /dev/md/dsk/d120 /dev/md/rdsk/d120 /var ufs 1 yes -

Hi, when you get /var/adm/utmpx problem and system is not going to the multi-user mode, You need to login to single usermode and run fsck and use all y to the questions promted & then reboot the system.
