Question--> "You know the reason the server won't boot is because of ODS, but the root partition isn't on ODS. How do you go about fixing it? "
if the root partition isnt on ODS, then the machine should boot right? Unless its a CPU or memory issue, i dont think ODS can cause this, or does this only apply if the entire root disk is not on ODS?
if ODS does cause this, how can you fix it?

there is no problem, this is just a theoretical question at the moment.
I'm basiclly asking this: if your root partition is not under ODS control... can an ODS problem prevent the machine from booting up... even though your root partition is not under the control of ODS. If ODS can cause this problem, what would be the steps to fix this?
thanks again

if the problem is with ODS and u are booting the machine with ODS enabled filesystem, it also would not boot.
u can boot machine to single user mode.
by typing
boot -s
u can from there on fix the problem with ODS, or change your /etc/vfstab files and remove anything related to ODS.

BTW could u shed more light of problem u are seeing with ODS and what heppens when u boot your system and all.
what is OS, what machine etc ......
