Yeah I'm just using the Sun StorageTek Comman Array Manager Software

I was just trying some of the pre-defined file system types, here is the list to choose from.

Code:
TABLE 12   Predefined Storage Profiles for the Sun StorageTek  Arrays

I did format the array with Sun ZFS filesystem to start with but had no luck then.

So thought I'd try Sun_SAM-FS to see if that was any more compatible but no luck so far.

Was wanting a small block size as I want to put a lot of small files onto the disk array when I start using it.

The only documentation I've fun on how to configure the array has been :-
http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/820-2431-10/820-2431-10.pdf

And that says nothing about selecting the type of filesystem which would be most compatible with a SPARC Solaris 10 machine and how to go about actually mounting the file system to prepare it for use.

Cheers, Malcolm.

NAME
install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system SYNOPSIS
install-solaris install-solaris invokes the Solaris Install program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation, install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer. The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation: For SPARC machines: 128 MB Minimum physical memory for all installation types 128 MB Minimum physical memory required for windowing system 384 MB Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation For x86 machines: 256 MB Minimum physical memory for all installation types 256 MB Minimum physical memory required for windowing system 512 MB Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number of fea- tures available. install-solaris exists only on the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the for more details. install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the installation media. Refer to the for disk space requirements. Refer to the for more information on the various menus and selections.
