Dealing with disks under Solaris
Hi,
Thanks to David Makepeace for running me through how to format,
partition etc a disk under solaris. It runs something like the
following:
0) To detect the devices, touch /reconfigure and reboot
1) To partition the disk:
# format /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2
format> part
At the partition> prompt, modify the partition you wish using the
number of the partition.
To save out the partition, run label.
2) To actually create a filesystem, run something like:
# newfs -i <blocks per inode> /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s6
3) To mount the device:
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2 /path
4) To make it mount on boot, add something like the following to
/etc/vfstab:
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s6 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s6 /spare ufs 1 yes -
Feel free to add more detail / correct anything I've got wrong.
Thanks,
Brad
