The subsys 163, error -2 translates to "volume ID not found".

This may be the result of a dinged UFID in the directory so you might want to run FSCHECK
at some convenient time when the system is idle. The "checkdirc" and "checklabel" commands
should help if there is a problem there.

If there's nothing there then I have no more guesses. That error in that context has not  been
reported from what I can find.
