There appears to be some problem with the private mapping. I'm not quite sure what is happening, but I thought I would ask if anyone here might have a clue. The server was running with -mapprivate and was shutdown by volutil. I then wanted to use norton to look at it. So I tried the following. Note, first -mapprivate use of norton couldn't see any volumes. Then I ran norton with anonymous mapping and all volues were listed. I then reran with -mapprivate and it could then see the volumes.

bash-2.03# norton -mapprivate /dev/rwd1e /dev/wd1f 521256960 About to call RVM_INIT
About to call rds_load_heap
norton> list volumes
Index ID Parent Type
------ ---------- ---------- ----

norton> quit
rvm_terminate returns RVM_SUCCESS
bash-2.03# norton /dev/rwd1e /dev/wd1f 521256960 About to call RVM_INIT
About to call rds_load_heap
norton> list volumes
Index ID Parent Type
------ ---------- ---------- ----

     0 0x 2000001 0x 2000001 rw
     1 0x 2000003 0x 2000003 rw
     2 0x 2000004 0x 2000004 rw
     3 0x 2000005 0x 2000005 rw

norton> quit
rvm_terminate returns RVM_SUCCESS

     2 0x 2000004 0x 2000004 rw
     3 0x 2000005 0x 2000005 rw

norton> quit
