How to create a 2 TB UFS filesystem?

Hi,

I have a 2,1 TB RAID0 Array (3- 750GB discs).

I have Solaris 10 x86 installed.

When I try to create a volume on this drive I receive the following error:

"
WARNING: /pci@0/pci8086/..../sd@6,0 (sd7) disk capacity is too large for current cbd length
"

I assume I can not format this drive because of it size.

What can I do in order to format this drive as a UFS 2TB filesystem?

Thank you.

newfs -T /dev/....

or use zfs... just add the disk to a zpool...

Thank you for your rocket reply answer ! :-)

But....
I can figure out how to determine the parameters of my drive...

The boot drive is /dev/dsk/c0t5d0 (sd5)

If my 2 TB drive is sd7 i tried:

#newfs -T /dev/dsk/c0t7d0

but it gives an error. (not such file or diretory)

I feel a little stupid asking this things, but I am totaly newbe to Sun platforms.

How should I know my drive path ?

Thanks again!

Thanks but....

When it type:

the "#format" command It only shows my 70 GB boot drive.

When I type #drvconfig and #disks I get the error I mention before:

"WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci8086,244e@1e/pci103c,32@0/sd@6,0 (sd7):
disk capacity is too large for current cdb length"

Any idea ?

have a look here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816...bbf02mf?a=view

you have to give your hostbus adapter a bigger max-cdb-length size. how do you attach the raid drives? there have to be some settings for your driver in /kernel/drv....

btw. don't use "drvconfig" and "drives" in solaris 10/9/8! just use "devfsadm".
