I was able to create a full sized slice, but if I try to create a filesystem greater then 8000M I get the following error: Dec 24 17:15:20 colnta /kernel: wd1s1e: hard error writing fsbn 19999664 (wd1s1 bn 19999664; cn 19840 tn 14 sn 62) (status 51 error 10) If I create an 8000M filesystem, and then try and create another fs with the remaining 2Gig I get the same error: Dec 24 17:18:45 colnta /kernel: wd1s1f: hard error writing fsbn 3615664 (wd1s1 bn 19999664; cn 19840 tn 14 sn 62) (status 51 error 10) I have tried creating a normal slice and a "dangerously dedicated" slice, with the same results. This is a problem now because I know have 8Gig of unusable disk across 4 IDE drives... that is starting to be a lot! I am doing this via sysinstall (the newest from /usr/src/release/sysinstall) so could that be causing a problem?? Any help or indication of what stupid thing I am doing wrong would be great. I am from an AIX background, so obviously a lot of this is new to me... is vinum possibly an answer to my questions? Thanks in advance.
