creating zfs filesystem

jmral23 · 01-08-2007, 01:20 PM

Hello,
Im a linux admin, but a Solaris newbie.
I found zfs help on Sun site, (http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/...s/zfshowto.jsp)
but I don't know how to identify the drives to get the names.
i.e. cat /proc/partitions or fdisk -l doesnt work here.

Cheers,
John

Well the prob was nothing showed in format.
so ran
reboot -- -rv

then devices were detected in format

wish me luck on setting up the zfs! pools etc. well here goes nothing

For the record, rebooting was unnecessary, you could have run instead:

Code:

devfsadm -v
