Well good Job this box is a test box The only way to recover this problem was to manually mount the disk then delete the disk in the storage panel and then re-add it which means reformat the disk ;-(
resulting in total loss of all data.

not a good fix hi. Now I get to test the cobalt restore stuff and see if that works hi ;)

Ok heres the good news after install of the RAQ3E-OS-2.0 upgrade and a total loss of my storage disk1

Telnet monitor now says its not in use - correct
My /vol/home1 is back but all data lost - okay I can restore

The Box is back working but for me and my virtual test sites back to factory defaults.

If I was an operational box here I would be a bit worried by now. but since Im only a developer with a test box I am not..

I hope this experience tonight helps some one figure out what went wrong. before some one out there makes a big booboo and gets into some serious doodoo hi.

Looks like after the update something was wrong or changed in the file system some modules failed to load that drive the disks ?

ah well some data to ponder over another time
