just detach the submirror...

# metadetach d0 d20

if you need to sync it you can reattach it with

# metattach d0 d20

this should work... if i understand right what you need...

Hi Duke,

As suggested, i detaching the volume and created some file for test and rebooted the disk from mirror. i can still see the file on the mirror. ideal it shouldn't be there.

please help !

if there is a mirror d0 with the submirrors d10 and d20 and you've detached d20 from d0 and afterwards created a file on d0 the file can't be on d20. if it is, there has to be a mistake!

Hi Duke,

I got d7 with two sub mirror d17 and d27. I detahed the d27 from the mirror like below

# metadetach d7 d27

later i created file on the mount point which is created for d7 .

then init 0 and later booted the system with rootmirror which which contains d27 and i can see the files there .

Where am i going wrong .

Thanks

Did you mount it at a raw device and check?

Can you try swapping the physical drive and check... maybe you were not really booring up from d27
