Solaris

Hello,


To learn ZFS, i try to create pool .
and for that i want create 10 files with 512MB (because i dont have multiple disks and multiple controllers)



ADMIT THAT THIS IS TEN HIGH-PERFORMANCE HARD DRIVES


To get this 10 files,all of them have the same size : 512MB,


I do these commands :

Code:

$ mkdir test_zfs
 $ cd test_zfs
 $ for i in $(seq 0 9); \
 >do dd if=/dev/zero of=./disque_$i bs=1M count=512; \
 >done;

But that gives me an error!
Someone can tell me pls why dont wokr on SOLARIS 10?

i can easily create create 10 files with 512MB on other linux (debian,ubuntu..)


Please help me!

what should i do with mkfile?

$mkfile 500m disc1
$mkfile 500m disc2
.
.
.
any scrypt pls?

Thank you

Code:

for i in (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)
do mkfile 500m disc$i
done

(not tested!)

This should be better:

Code:

for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
do mkfile 500m disc$i
done

'seq' does not exist in Solaris.
