Does anyone know if you can mount two (or more) root volumes on one filer and how tell it which on to boot from?
I had a filer/shelf with a corrupt vol0. However there was user data on there I wanted to get at. So I mounted it on another test filer whose root volume was named boot, but the filer now complained about having two root volumes (boot and vol0).

I was trying to boot both as readonly so I could boot off a previous inode on the corrupt vol0. Anyone know if there is a way to specify which volume to boot from when you are mounting multiple root volumes on one filer? I've already gotten the data in another fashion but I thought it should be able to mount two root volumes on one filer.
