I tried using format to format the drive and got the following: Ready to format. Formatting cannot be interrupted and takes 5724 minutes (estimated). Continue? y Beginning format. The current time is Sat Oct 16 23:58:17 2010
Formatting... Format failed Retry of formatting operation without any of the standard mode selects and ignoring disk's Grown Defects list. The disk may be able to be reformatted this way if an earlier formatting operation was interrupted by a power failure or SCSI bus reset. The Grown Defects list will be recreated by format verification and surface analysis. Retry format without mode selects and Grown Defects list? y Formatting... Illegal request during format ASC: 0x24 ASCQ: 0x0 Illegal request during format ASC: 0x24 ASCQ: 0x0 failed Is there any way for me to determine whether the disk is defective from OpenSolaris? I tried rotating the disk to a different bay and the problem moved to the new bay (c0t5000C500268D0821d0p0). When I try using format fdisk I get an error as well (fdisk: Error in ioctl DKIOCSMBOOT on /dev/rdsk/c0t5000C500268D0821d0p0) I also noticed that the format command take much much longer with this particular disk compared to the other 7. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
