Hi Managers,

First off - thanks for the great list! I've often been able to solve problems
by looking through the archives.

I'm having problems getting to a soft partition I created on a raid 1 disk.
After I've created the soft partition, I can't mount it or do an mkfs on it.
I've been following the information in the Solaris Volume Manager
Administration Guide January 2005 however there is no information on how I
can actually start using a soft partition after I've set it up. I would
greatly appreciate a few pointers on what I should do after the steps below
that I've done.

regards
Markus
