How to Remove a Stripe, Concatenation, or Concatenated Stripe (Command Line)

After checking the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Removing DiskSuite Objects"), and the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Removing Stripes and Concatenations"), use the metaclear(1M) command to delete the metadevice. Refer to the metaclear(1M) man page for more information.

Example -- Removing a Concatenation

# umount d8
# metaclear d8
d8: Concat/Stripe is cleared
(Edit the /etc/vfstab file)

This example clears the concatenation d8 that also contains a mounted file system. The file system must be unmounted before the metadevice can be cleared. The system displays a confirmation message that the concatenation is cleared. If there is an entry in the /etc/vfstab file for this metadevice, delete that entry. You do not want to confuse the system by asking it to mount a file system on a non-existent metadevice.
