736.1how did the system disk get into its current state?NNTPD::"lsm@kit.zk3.dec.com"Mon Apr 28 1997 18:0813
The disklabel shows that the system disk was encapsulated under v3.2.
The '-a' option to volrootmir is new for v4.0 and is not compatible
with the older style of root encapsulation.  A system disk that was
encapsulated under 3.2 must be mirrored under 4.0 without using the
'-a' flag.

The disklabel also seems to show that the old encapsulation was removed
and then re-encapsulated with the new 4.0 code before the disklabel was
cleaned up.  (After a volunroot, you must manually restore the disk
label).  It would be helpful to see the output of 'volprint -htA' to
determine why volrootmir did not detect this condition.
