[nycbug-talk] NetApp issue

[Mark Saad]

Steve
  I found it, it took some digging. When you boot up a NetApp can you hit ctr-c to get to a special boot menu.
>From there you can do a "vol_ofline volname aggratename "  and then boot as normal. This will make the netapp ignore that volume on a wafl check and then I can kill the volume from a standard prompt. 

 The background was I had a huge volume on my netapp puke all over the place. The box panicked and would not reboot w/o checking the volume. Since the volume was useless I needed to offline it and then kill it to make the box boot. 

This is why I advocate using FreeBSD and ZFS and not crappy expensive netapps.
