[osol-discuss] New problem?

2011-03-16 Thread Orvar Korvar 
Ok, I get this strange output. Is it a problem, or can I safely ignore this? 
Look at the name of the disk c7d0, it has weird characters. Is it because I 
tried other SATA ports, and has it messed up the disk in someway?

It's an issue in format.  Don't relabel your disks and get an older 
version of format.

Hi Orvar,

I think you are running b151a and this problem was fixed on b154:

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6969598
junk in format for cmdk disks

I also see a similar problem reported if this disk had a GPT label.

I don't know how to fix this, other than backing up your data, upgrading 
to b154 and relabeling these disks. This is the safest approach.


I know this has been reported before but I don't remember an easier
fix.

Thanks,

Cindy

So, this is only a problem with format command? It outputs some weird 
characters but my data is safe? I can safely ignore those weird characters? 
Everything is ok? My data is safe?

(Cindy, I can not upgrade to b154 as I only have access to the official Solaris 
11 Express b151a distro from Oracle.)
