        That's OK, I get the picture now. Rather than follow the doc
        you cited originally, I would suggest following the SDS docs
        at Sun's web site. The User's Guide has all the info you need.
        It is a PDF doc with the name 806-3205.pdf. Start by using the
        metadb command then the metaroot steps and reboot. Then the
        rest.

        Do you mean you are using soft partitions? Or are you referring
        to the state db replicas? These don't take much space. Try a
        3 MB slice for 2 replicas.

        The patch number is 108693. With 16 being the latest revision.
        Its hard to say if it will fix your problem but it does fix
        quite a few bugs so I would recommend it.
