Hi sun-managers,

Thanks a lot for the quick responses. Really saved my day.
The solution was :

fsck -y /dev/md/rdsk/d0

You should be able to fsck the filesystem on your concatenated meta device. For
the future, I recommend you look into configuring your large filesystem as a
trans meta device to avoid the lengthy fsck-s typically required on concatenated
filesystems. Also, since your disks are identical, you might consider
configuring them as a stripe rather than just a concatenation as that will give
you much higher performance with the same hardware.

AND TO ALL THOSE WHOSE REPLIES MAY BE ON THE WAY.

Original Question
-----------------
I have an ultra-2 (Solaris 5.5.1). One multipack (6 x 2GB hard

> disks inside) is attached to this. Using SDS 4.0 I have concatenated

> the multipack to get a single volume of 12GB. I had downloaded

> some important s/w on this.

>

> There was a power-failure and this multipack is not getting mounted now.

> Can i run fsck on this? If not, which utility in SDS will allow me

> to check the fs and get it running.
