Inappropriate ioctl for device
When I try to format a slice in Solaris 10 I get the follow error 
:
-bash-3.00# mkfs /dev/dsk/c1d0s5 18877824
Can not determine partition size: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Some format command output:....

If I try to mount that slice I got:
-bash-3.00# mount /dev/dsk/c1d0s5 /mnt/tmp/
mount: /dev/dsk/c1d0s5 is not this fstype
What's wrong? Can you help me ?
Thanks

ioctl
IOCTL(2) BSD System Calls Manual IOCTL(2) NAME
ioctl -- control device SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/ioctl.h> int ioctl(int d, unsigned long request, char *argp); DESCRIPTION
The ioctl() function manipulates the underlying device parameters of special files. In particular, many operating characteristics of charac- ter special files (e.g. terminals) may be controlled with ioctl() requests. The argument d must be an open file descriptor. An ioctl request has encoded in it whether the argument is an ``in'' parameter or ``out'' parameter, and the size of the argument argp in bytes. Macros and defines used in specifying an ioctl request are located in the file <sys/ioctl.h>. RETURN VALUES
If an error has occurred, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
Ioctl() will fail if: [EBADF] d is not a valid descriptor. [ENOTTY] d is not associated with a character special device. [ENOTTY] The specified request does not apply to the kind of object that the descriptor d references. [EINVAL] Request or argp is not valid. SEE ALSO
mt(1), cdio(1), chio(1), execve(2), fcntl(2), tty(4), intro(4) HISTORY
An ioctl() function call appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX. 4th Berkeley Distribution December 11, 1993 4th Berkeley Distribution
