Dear managers,

thanks for the responses I got so far. I was told to stop volume
manager and use cdrw -vl list the available devices. This gives me

Looking for CD devices...
     Node Connected Device Device type
----------------------+--------------------------------
+-----------------
  /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | MATSHITA DVD-RAM SW-9585 BZS3 | CD
Reader/Writer
  /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s2 | HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-E10L LE05 | CD
Reader/Writer

I assume the lower one is the USB-Device (DVD-RAM) I want to use for
backup purposes, the upper one the built-in DVD-Writer.I now tried to
create an ufs filesystem on the DVD-RAM as follows. Note,I uses s0
instead of s2.

bash-3.00# newfs /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s0
Warning: setting rpm to 60
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s0: (y/n)? y
mkfs: bad value for nrpos: 8 must be between 1 and 1
mkfs: nrpos reset to default 1
Too many cylinder groups with 8946816 sectors;
     try increasing cgsize, or decreasing fssize to 196608

I have no idea what this message tries to tell me and I have no further
idea how to make teh DVD-RAM drive accessible as an rsync target. The
drive is not listed in format so...

Any further ideas? Thanks a lot!

Regards,

   Andreas
