no I want used in solaris
but I can't understand , I use disk in xp or freebsd , no pb ;

Okay, so if there is data on that disk, save it first somewhere else.

You can then create a ZFS pool with this command on your disk (assuming it's c0t0d0, double check that) with this command, as root:

Code:

zpool create pool c10t0d0

and see what size is reported

Code:

zpool list

Please use the command I suggested, i.e. don't specify a slice (or partition) number.

Code:

zpool destroy pool
zpool create pool c10t0d0

newfs ..../

wadi3 · 01-18-2011, 02:29 AM

when I use
newfs /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0
newfs: file system size must be at last 6144 sectors

so , file system is unlimit when I tape

jlliagre · 01-18-2011, 11:07 AM

newfs won't work with c4t0d0. UFS expects partitions (slice) but d0 is a full disk. Only ZFS can handle full unpartitioned disks.

I don't understand what you mean with you last (truncated?) sentence.

how I CAN use ufs with disk 1T
I USE newfs -T, don't work
so I read about solaris10 , size of file (type ufs) is not limit

ulimit -a | grep file
file(blocks) unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 65536

jlliagre · 01-19-2011, 01:21 AM

The ulimit output is unrelated to the maximum file system size. The disk size reported is 423 GB so there is no point trying to fit a 1 TB file system on it. Was the ZFS test I suggested successful ?

pb size

jlliagre · 01-19-2011, 08:30 AM

Please stop posting truncated sentences.

If you insist creating a 1 TB UFS, you can create a zvol in your pool and then layout a UFS filesystem inside it.

Code:

zfs create -V 1000g pool/onetb
newfs /dev/zvol/rdsk/pool/onetb

That wouldn't be optimal due to double caching but you'll have then the possibility to snapshot and clone your UFS file system.

I am sorry
again thank you
I want understand why I can't use ufs when size of dsik is big
I am only have this pb ? or
ufs didn't accept size very wide if yes why didn't notice this in documentations of solaris or sun
I am still looking about this but no answer you are only that help me
I have answer I will very happy
thank you
