Solaris 10 5/09 Release Notes

Fails to Sync File System on Panic (6250422)

If a host panics with file system I/O occurring to a target, which is connected by using the Solaris iSCSI software initiator, the I/O might not be able to flush or sync to the target device. This inability to flush or sync might cause file system corruption. No error message is displayed.

Workaround:

Use the journaling file system like UFS. Starting with Solaris 10, UFS logging is enabled by default. For more information about UFS, see What’s New in File Systems? in System Administration Guide: Devices and File Systems.
