Create a 4GB file on (ideally) an internal drive not part of this RAID0 array.
Wouldn't it be sufficient to fire 4GB worth of any data (for instance some brand new hexadecimal zeroes freshly out of /dev/zero) with dd? Like
True, this will be off by the overhead of /dev/zero, wouldn't that be negligible given the bandwidth of disks and the memory interface (which are apart some orders of magnitude)?
I am new to the unix world. I have SunBlade 100 and A1000 Disk storage array with 12 Hard drives. I used SCSI card and SCSI cables to connect. When I do the format command,I can see disk storage as one disk instead of 12 disks as below. Could anybody can explain why?

I have a 3510 disk array attached to a T2000 server.

Hi,
I have the Lacie Big Disk, which is a external hard drive enclosure in a hardware RAID0 array of 2x250GB disks. The RAID controller seems to have died, leaving me with 2 working hard drives but no way to get the data. I tried hooking the drives up to a windows machine and using Raid... (4 Replies)
I have read anecdotes about people installing RAID0 (RAID - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) on some of their machines because it gives a performance boost. Because bandwidth on the motherboard is limited, can someone explain exactly why it should be faster? (7 Replies)
So I have 2 solaris sun servers one with a disk array with 14 drives which I need to move to the other server. How do I move the disk array configured as a Raid 5 to another server without losing data? So far I know I'll connect the drive, run devfsadm, use format to verify the server see's... (5 Replies)
HI:
I have a DUAL redundant system running in HP-UX 10.20 ( 2 servers)
Both servers share an external SCSI disk array. Both server runs a Data base wich uses the disk array to write the data, and that is the way they share the information.
The way that the servers see the disk array, is like... (1 Reply)
Hello,
On 4/20/2018, we performed a disk replacement on our IBM 8202 P7 server. After the disk was rebuilt, the SAS Disk Array sissas0 showed a status of degraded. However, the pdisks in the array all show a status of active.
We did see a message in errpt. DISK ARRAY PROTECTION SUSPENDED.

LEARN ABOUT OPENSOLARIS
dev
dev(7FS) File Systems dev(7FS)NAME
dev - Device name file system
DESCRIPTION
The dev filesystem manages the name spaces of devices under the Solaris operating environment. The global zone's instance of the dev
filesystem is mounted during boot on /dev.
A subdirectory under /dev may have unique operational semantics. Most of the common device names under /dev are created automatically by
devfsadm(1M). Others, such as /dev/pts, are dynamic and reflect the operational state of the system. You can manually generate device
names for newly attached hardware by invoking devfsadm(1M) or implicitly, by indirectly causing a lookup or readdir operation in the
filesystem to occur. For example, you can discover a disk that was attached when the system was powered down (and generate a name for that
device) by invoking format(1M)).
FILES
/dev Mount point for the /dev filesystem in the global zone.

The global /dev instance cannot be unmounted.
