Hi Edward Thank you for your mail
I follow your advice to reboot my computer. It is fine Now. I have problem to attach it. What can I do this? root@opensolaris:~# format -e Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c8t0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 2607 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /pci@0,0/pci15ad,1976@10/sd@0,0 1. c8t1d0 <DEFAULT cyl 1303 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /pci@0,0/pci15ad,1976@10/sd@1,0 Specify disk (enter its number): ^C root@opensolaris:~# zpool add rpool c8t1d0 cannot label 'c8t1d0': EFI labeled devices are not supported on root pools. 2/ For the command devfsadm -Cv, I run it the first time. It showed many message but I can't catch it. I try to run again, but show nothing How can I catch those message?
