Hi all,
Last week our newly SUN StorEdge 3510 FC arrived. Currently, I am (trying)
to configure the damn thing, but for some reason, I can't seem to execute a
'newfs' on the LUN's
Configuration is as follows:
2 logical drives, one in RAID 1 (consisting out of 4 disks) one in RAID 5
(consisting out of 7 disks), 1 global hotspare
The RAID 5 LD is divided into three partitions. The RAID 1 LD is one
partition. The partitions are mapped to a host, so all four LUN's are
visible there. So far so good.
But, when I want to give the LUN's a filesystem, it seems that the newfs
command hangs. It looks like this:
root@nlastis1# newfs -f 4096 /dev/rdsk/c2t40d0s6
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c2t40d0s6: (y/n)? y
Cylinder groups must have a multiple of 16 cylinders with the given
parameters
Rounded cgsize up to 256
Warning: insufficient space in super block for
rotational layout tables with nsect 127, ntrack 127, and nrpos 8.
Omitting tables - file system performance may be impaired.
Warning: 5 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/rdsk/c2t40d0s6: 629111640 sectors in 39005 cylinders of 127 tracks,
127 sectors
307183.4MB in 2438 cyl groups (16 c/g, 126.01MB/g, 15808 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -F ufs -o b=#) at:
32, 258224, 516416, 774608,
After the fourth superblock, it just stops.
As for the message "Warning: insufficient space in super block for
rotational layout tables with nsect 127, ntrack 127, and nrpos 8", this
seems to be a regular message on large
disks. At least, that is what a Google search comes up with.
I've already configured the cylinders/heads/sectors to <65536/255/255, as
described in par. 5.5.10 of the 3510 installation manual, as there are
filesystems bigger than 253 GB, but even this seems not to work.
when trussing the mkfs / newfs processes, I don't get any output on screen.
Anyone can give me a clue /hint / tip / solution ??
met vriendelijke groet/with kind regards,
