    Dear managers,

    I am trying to re mirror a v100 after replacing the failed disk. I did:

    1. Installed the backup copies of vfstab and system files taken before
    the mirror.
    2. Boot the system from non-mirrored file system
    3. I have tried removed the metadb, cleared the stripes and detached the
    mirrors for making way for new mirror.

    Now when I run metadb I get :
    # metadb
             flags first blk block count
         a m pc luo 1050 1034 /dev/dsk/
         a luo 2084 1034 /dev/dsk/

    and I tried to create new metadb and I get:
    # metadb -a -f -c2 /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s4 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4
    parse_ctd(): partial_ctd_str = malloc(-2)

    I have searched the google and there was one similar prob. As per that I
    removed the entries in /etc/lvm/mddb.cf but no success.

    Thanks in advance
    Kumar
