Hello,
I had a disk problem on a Tru64 machine with OS 4.0F
So I removed the disk from the machine and put in a
Tru64 machine with OS V5.1A. I also put a new disk
(same type) on V5.1A machine. Both disks are 9GB.
Wrote the label on the
new machine and made a back up from the defect disk
on the new disk.
Removed the new disk and put in the OS 4.0F machine
and tried to boot with out success. System complained
because of difference in AdvFS versions.
Now I tried to relabel the
the new disk on Tru64 with OS 4.0F with the command
disklabel -w -r rz26 after booting the system from 4.0F CD.
Wrote the command mount -u /.
Created device rz26 with /dev/MAKEDEV rz26.
I could label the disk and partition the disk with
disklabel -e rz26. But I cannot create advfs on this disk.
When I write mkfdmn /dev/rz26a root2_domain I get the
following error:
/dev/rrz26a is an invalid device or cannot be opened.
The disklabel for /dev/rrz26a cannot be updated.
Quitting .....
mkfdmn: can not make new domain "root2_domain"
Is there a label information on the disk from OS v5.1A?
How can I label and create domain on this disk? I need it
urgently? Please help.The disk type is BD009222C7.
Regards,
Kumar
