Thanks for all you replied.
The new hard drive we got from Sun service provider. It's a genuine sun hard drive for V440.
If I just run "format -e" and select disk#2, then it's hung (forever? may be). Ctrl+c will break it, but never go through.
I have no chance to change the label.
Last time I was able to, but there are only 2 options:
1. auto
2. enter the hard drive specifications, such as head/cylinders/etc

My question is, what all do I have to change to get the V440 to boot off of this with very little complications. Right now, it... (21 Replies)

Hi,
I have Sun Solaris V440, every two days or so, the system crashes and it's at OK prompt. After that I do the FSCK and clear all the bad sectors. Then system stays up for close to 48 hours. Then it crashes again. I checked the logs and I don't see anything under /var/adm/messages file.

HD(4) Linux Programmer's Manual HD(4)
NAME
hd - MFM/IDE hard disk devices
DESCRIPTION
The hd* devices are block devices to access MFM/IDE hard disk drives in raw mode. The master drive on the primary IDE controller (major
device number 3) is hda; the slave drive is hdb. The master drive of the second controller (major device number 22) is hdc and the slave
hdd.
General IDE block device names have the form hdX, or hdXP, where X is a letter denoting the physical drive, and P is a number denoting the
partition on that physical drive. The first form, hdX, is used to address the whole drive. Partition numbers are assigned in the order
the partitions are discovered, and only nonempty, nonextended partitions get a number. However, partition numbers 1-4 are given to the
four partitions described in the MBR (the "primary" partitions), regardless of whether they are unused or extended. Thus, the first logi-
cal partition will be hdX5. Both DOS-type partitioning and BSD-disklabel partitioning are supported. You can have at most 63 partitions
on an IDE disk.
For example, /dev/hda refers to all of the first IDE drive in the system; and /dev/hdb3 refers to the third DOS "primary" partition on the
second one.
They are typically created by:
mknod -m 660 /dev/hda b 3 0
mknod -m 660 /dev/hda1 b 3 1
mknod -m 660 /dev/hda2 b 3 2
...
mknod -m 660 /dev/hda8 b 3 8
mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb b 3 64
mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb1 b 3 65
mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb2 b 3 66
...
mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb8 b 3 72
