The partition 3 have the replicas ... 3 on both disks.

My customer need this setup with Solaris 8 ...
It couldn't be a TransMetaDeviceLogging-problem ... I've tested it.

My HomeOffice UE10 with !Sol9! has the same setup and is working fine.

The segmentation fault of fsck could be a hint ...
why does the manual fsck work ?
