Hi!

Both Google and Sunsolve didn't turn up anything meaningful
when I searched for the error message in the subject.

I'm trying to set up an external RAID box with a V880. The RAID
controller is an Infortrend EonRAID 2000, connected via Copper
FC-AL to a Qlogic QLA2200/CK. Solaris 2/02, no additional
patches (yet).

I can label the RAID LUN with format, but newfs'ing even a small
slice (1GB) fails. The net capacity of the RAID5 LUN is just
below 1TB, Geometry cyl 32717 alt 2 hd 255 sec 255.

I have trussed mkfs but can't see anything unusual:
