Questions about Solaris 10 x86...


Hi All!

I have been using Linux for a while now... I did some "researches" about other unices, just for curiousity. I installed and used FreeBSD then. Recently I have installed Solaris 10 on my AMD64 box to try it, but I found it very confusing compared to Linux and FreeBSD... it really lacks of documentation for newbies (or at least I was unable to find these docs). For example I can`t find anything about such basic things like the exact meaning of /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1...

Does anyone know about such basic documentations?

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

There is a forum dedicated to Solaris on LQ: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...splay.php?f=20

Solaris disk devices naming is:

c: controller number
t: scsi target number (not used on IDE disks)
d: disk number
s: slice number (or p: partition number)

Feel free to ask other questions there.

PS: by the way, BSD and Linux are also very confusing for someone used to Solaris ...
