[OpenIndiana-discuss] Creating .volsetid without mkisofs

[Rainer Heilke]

I'm trying to clean up this error:
rheilke at hastur:~$ svcs -xv
svc:/system/filesystem/root:media (root file system mount)
  State: maintenance since November 25, 2013 03:10:44 PM PST
Reason: Start method exited with $SMF_EXIT_ERR_FATAL.
    See: http://illumos.org/msg/SMF-8000-KS

Impact: This service is not running.
rheilke at hastur:~$ cat /var/svc/log/system-filesystem-root\:media.log

That is directly from the installed OS on the harddrive. If .volsetid 
isn't needed, why the errors? Is there some other way around this?

And it's beddy-bye for this bonzo...
