I have made a partition (slice with UEFI label) at: /dev/rdsk/c5t6d0s0
Now I write some data to the slice:
If I dump the disk contents I see the UEFI label and also my data at offset 0x5000:
But If I do the same dump at storage side (iSCSI target), I do not see my data written! I shutdown the SPARC/solaris machine and voila! the data is now there.
How can this be? Is Solaris caching my data in memory? How can I disable this?
Note: I tried to use sync but it did not help and anyway it is related to files in a file-system, which I do not have in my scenario.
P.S. My machine is a T5220 UltraSPARC T2 Server with Solaris 11.3

Please use code tags next time for your code and data. thanks
Linux uses hdparm to set these parameters, my question is: what tool uses BSD systems (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD)? There is another thing which FreeBSD implements on their filesystems: softupdates. If I forgot to enable this option when I partitioned the disk, how could I enable it at a later time? (1 Reply)
i've gone through the sun docs as well as a Solaris Network Admin book.
while the book is fair, it lacks detail and i'm sure there are things it's missing on getting a caching only name server working.
as for the sun docs... what it has is really miserable. i can't make anything out of it.

Hello,
I'm creating a VM Image of Solaris 10 on VM Player. I've completed the installation & I am using the Java Desktop as my default logon. I need to modify the Run Level to Console Mode (permanently). Unlike previous versions or Linux, modifying inittab file is not an option here.
