Boot Error Messages
Upon bootup, a system with DiskSuite installed may issue the following warnings:
WARNING: forceload of misc/md_trans failed WARNING: forceload of md_raid failed WARNING: forceload of md_hotspares failed
These messages are caused by forceload’s that are present in the /etc/system file which attempts to load drivers for metatrans, raid5, or hotspare device(s). The warnings exist if there are no such devices on the system. Thus you can rid the system of the warning:
WARNING: forceload of md_hotspares failed
by creating an empty hotspare pool:
# metainit hsp001
and by commenting out the drivers for raid types that do not exist:
*forceload: misc/md_trans *forceload: misc/md_raid forceload: misc/md_hotspares *forceload: misc/md_sp forceload: misc/md_stripe forceload: misc/md_mirror
You will need to uncomment these if you ever create these types of raid devices.
