Hi
Can I add disks on the fly to extend the capacity of an existing RAID 5 volume?
It's created on a 4P Advanced SSA Raid Adapter.
I need to extend a volume group, so I figured it would be easiest to extend the "physical disk" which is a RAID5 volume.
Thanks. (1 Reply)

Hi there
the Sunfire X4100 has a great tool that you can get to from BIOS called the configuration utility which allows you to set up Disk mirroring (RAID 1) before the OS sees it, which is great and it works a treat, however, we have a large datacentre across multiuple sites and I need to find... (1 Reply)

We've just bought a T2000. It has two disks and I'm trying to figure out how to create a mirror of the boot disk. I understand that I have to boot into single user mode from DVD and then use the raidctl command to set up the mirror and label the volume afterwards.

Hi,
I have a root with hardware RAID on c0t0d0 and c0t2d0. I would like to set the boot device sequence in OBP for both hdds.
I have checked in ls -l /dev/rdsk/ for the path of c0t2d0 but it does not exist. Can anyone shed some lights on this?

This may be a stupid question, but I don't want to take any chances.
I have a Sun T2000 in production. I want to run the "resetsc" command on the ALOM controller to active an IP address change. Will resetting ALOM affect the running OS?
Thanks (2 Replies)

SFILL(1) General Commands Manual SFILL(1)
NAME
sfill - secure free disk and inode space wiper (secure_deletion toolkit)
SYNOPSIS
sfill [-f] [-i] [-I] [-l] [-l] [-v] [-z] directory/mountpoint
DESCRIPTION
sfill is designed to delete data which lies on available diskspace on mediums in a secure manner which can not be recovered by thiefs, law
enforcement or other threats. The wipe algorythm is based on the paper "Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory" pre-
sented at the 6th Usenix Security Symposium by Peter Gutmann, one of the leading civilian cryptographers.
The secure data deletion process of sfill goes like this:
* 1 pass with 0xff
* 5 random passes. /dev/urandom is used for a secure RNG if available.
* 27 passes with special values defined by Peter Gutmann.
* 5 random passes. /dev/urandom is used for a secure RNG if available.
afterwards as many temporary files as possible are generated to wipe the free inode space. After no more temporary files can be created,
they are removed and sfill is finnished.
COMMANDLINE OPTIONS
-f fast (and insecure mode): no /dev/urandom, no synchronize mode.
-i wipe only free inode space, not free disk space
-I wipe only free disk space, not free inode space
-l lessens the security. Only two passes are written: one mode with 0xff and a final mode with random values.
-l -l for a second time lessons the security even more: only one random pass is written.
-v verbose mode
-z wipes the last write with zeros instead of random data
directory/mountpoint this is the location of the file created in your filesystem. It should lie on the partition you want to write.
LIMITATIONS
FILESYSTEM INTELLIGENCE
Most filesystems (ext2, ffs, etc.) have several features included to enhance performance, which will result in that sfill might not
receive all available free space. Sad but true. Nothing can be done about that ...
NFS Beware of NFS. You can't ensure you really completely wiped your data from the remote disks. (especially because of caching)
Raid Raid Systems use stripped disks and have got large caches. It's hard to wipe them.
swap Some of your data might have a copy in your swapspace. sswap is available for this task.
BUGS
No bugs. There was never a bug in the secure_deletion package (in contrast to my other tools, whew, good luck ;-) Send me any that you
find. Patches are nice too :)
