I have two harddisk:
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c7d1 <DEFAULT cyl 5871 alt 2 hd 255 sec 126>
/pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 11/ide at 0/cmdk at 1,0
1. c8d0 <DEFAULT cyl 6078 alt 2 hd 255 sec 126>
/pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 11/ide at 1/cmdk at 0,0
and then fdisk on c8d0:
Total disk size is 60800 cylinders
Cylinder size is 32130 (512 byte) blocks
Cylinders
Partition Status Type Start End Length %
========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== ===
1 Active Solaris2 1 5874 5874 10
So there is only one partition?
But doing fstyp /dev/dsk/c8d0s0 and /dev/dsk/c8d0s7 both gave ufs.
And I was able to mount:
/dev/dsk/c8d0s0 9.7G 9.4G 122M 99% /export/home/solaris
/dev/dsk/c8d0s7 81G 70G 10G 88% /t1
Now I am quite confused, how many partition are there actually?
"format" does not report all the partition? and most important, very
often I see partition 1, 2, 3, 4, etc....from "format->fdisk" output,
but then how does it correspond to /dev/dsk/cXXXXsYYY's slice
numbering? (and/or how does these mapped to the partition number:
/dev/dsk/cXXXXpYYYY?)
And from /dev/dsk/cXXXXp0 --> what does that partition mapped to? or
rather the purpose of this partition?
Sorry for these barrage of newbie question :-).....appreciate very
much any help rendered :-).
