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:

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.
