    metaset: syddb280r: testset: must be owner of the set for this command

    Sun support offered this gem:
    metaset -s testset -P
    ... and the diskset is now gone.
    Interestingly, the -P option is not in the man page of metaset in Solaris9, but it seems that it is in Solaris10. Fortunately, it also works on
    Solaris9.


    18 years later and I needed this info, the -P is a gem indeed!

    No, Solaris even runs on new x64 hardware - I tried it out last week in VirtualBox.

    You misunderstood my comment, it was about the use of SVM/ODS/SDS, not
    Solaris.

    I still work with Solaris (all versions), usually SPARC, and only come
    across SVM on Sol 8 or 9 instances (or very early S10), and these are
    usually servers that are being migrated to newer tin (LDoms/zones),
    whenever possible I will get the client to shift to ZFS.

    I also know John, and the government depts he often works at, and am
    surprised that there is still stuff to be modernised.
