    I just ran sys_check (version 132) on a 4.0f system. The system is an ES40, with LSM for mirroring. sys_check flagged 2 drives with the following warning:

    Operational: Disk rz1 partition g is overlapped, but disklabel has marked AdvFS
    This suggests a disklabel or disk use problem. Please investigate (rz2 has a similar warning)

    Here is the disklabel:
    8 partitions:
    # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] # NOTE: values not exact
      a: 2 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 0*)
      b: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
      c: 17773524 0 LSMnoprv # (Cyl. 0 - 5289*)
      d: 3146706 2 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0*- 936*)
      e: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
      f: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
      g: 14626816 3146708 AdvFS # (Cyl. 936*- 5289*)
      h: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)

    Now, the "g" partition is being used as /usr.
    ./usr_domain:
    total 0
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 24 Jul 20 2001 vol-rz1g -> /dev/vol/rootdg/vol-rz1g

    I don't see that the "c" partition is being used anywhere.
    It has been a LONG time since I worked with LSM. What problems, or potential problems, might this system have or develop? I don't remember what the LSMnoprv is even used for. This is a production system, and I sure don't want them to have serious problems.

    Any help???

    Many thanks in advance for your help.
    Jim
