System panic during newfs if size of the metadevice is greater than 1TB prior to Solaris[TM] 9 Operating System (8/03) (Doc ID 1002354.1)

Last updated on JULY 06, 2023

Applies to:

Solaris Operating System - Version 8.0 to 9 4/03 U3 [Release 8.0 to 9.0]
Solstice DiskSuite Software - Version 2.0.1 to 4.2.1 [Release 2.0 to 4.0]
All Platforms

Symptoms

Prior to Solaris[TM] 9 Operating System (8/03) system will panic during newfs if size of the metadevice is greater than 1TB. The panic stack trace will look similar to:

 

panic[cpu2]/thread=300082419a0: BAD TRAP: type=31 rp=2a10075c7b0 addr=3139313632000050 mmu_fsr=0

The large size of the metadevice will overflow the variables that are used to keep track of metadevice size.

A dump of md_unit structure will show negative values.

This metadevice is configured with four devices. Total size of the these device is greater than 1TB as below.

% cat -n c2t13d2*
1  * /dev/rdsk/c2t13d21s2 partition map

...
23         7      0    00          0 996229120 996229119

Therefore:

996229120(block) * 512(byte) = 510069309440(byte)

510069309440(byte) / 1049576(byte) = 486440(Mbyte)

486440(Mbyte) / 1024 = 475(Gbyte)

So the size of metadevice is 1.9TB(475GB x 4)
