[OpenAFS] fsck in metadevice using lvm in solaris 8

[Renato Arruda]

Hi,

I am installing an openafs server on a sun fire v880. I have 4 hds in joi=
ned=20
using lvm (d30 -r c1t2d0s0 c1t3d0s0 c1t4d0s0 c1t5d0s0, from /etc/lvm/md.t=
ab)=20
making a big metadevice /dev/md/rdsk/d30 with more than 100g.

I am using logging in that metadevice (from /etc/vfstab: /dev/md/dsk/d30=20
/dev/md/rdsk/d30        /vicepa afs     2       yes     logging)

This is what happens when i unmount and try to fsck it. (it always does t=
hat,=20
though if i try to mount it again it mounts fine, because the fs doesn't =
have=20
a flag saying that it's state is not okay)

# fsck /dev/md/dsk/d30

I don't have many volumes in it currently, but i wonder in case of a syst=

ran with this sort of problem (the other afs servers i have managed had 8=

and less /vicepx partitions and were running linux (ext3), not solaris)..=

Could it be that the openafs fsck program doesn't understand/can't handle=

these lvm metadevices? the few files/volumes that are there are completel=

unchanged by fsck.

Any insight would be _greatly_ appreciated.
Thanks,
