SUMMARY: SDS metadb parse_ctd(): partial_ctd_str = malloc(-2)

Hello together,

the problem is solved, but i don't know how,
because the system had many other problems.

But if you want to delete all metadbs and it doesen't work with metadb -f -d
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
then look into /etc/lvm/mddb.cf and delete the uncomment entries.
After that a metadb should say, that there are no existing metadbs.
