Hi
thanks for the replies.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can use fmthard as they have several different
disks in use, some 9, 18 or even 36 gig disks, they're not even buying disks
from the same manufacturer, so the vtoc output would be different for the
disk.

Thanks
Dan

fmthard.

Pick a disk who'se label you want then save the map via

prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/whatever > vtoc.out

then apply to new drive

fmthard -s vtoc.out /dev/rdsk/whatever_your_new_disk_is.
