On a RAID-5 solaris 9 server, we replaced a bad disk.
Upon boot up, a mount point failed:

Hi all!
I have the following problem: I would like to calculate using awk a probability of appearing of a pair of numbers x and y. In other words how frequently do these numbers appear?
In the case of only one integer number x ranged for example from 1 to 100 awk one liner has the form:

I'm running sun volume manager on solaris 9. I have two hotspares and
are currently on standby. Both are not being utilized.
Can I newfs both of them? Do I need to deleted the hostpares first,
then newfs?

Looking for a good online primer/intro to creating a new file system, mounting, and eventually using NFS. Do you use newfs then mount or mount then newfs, how do you work with a new partition to create a new file system.... it's all a bit confusing.
The man pages are a little too verbose and... (1 Reply)
FDFORMAT(1) BSD General Commands Manual FDFORMAT(1)NAME
fdformat -- format floppy disks
SYNOPSIS
fdformat [-F fill] [-f fmt] [-s fmtstr] [-nqvy] device
DESCRIPTION
The fdformat utility formats a floppy disk at device, where device may either be given as a full path name of a device node for a floppy disk
drive (e.g. /dev/fd0), or using an abbreviated name that will be looked up under /dev (e.g. ``fd0'').
The options are as follows:
-F fill Use fill as the fill byte for newly formatted sectors. The fill argument must be a number in the range 0 through 255 using common
C language notation. The default value is ``0xf6''.
-f fmt Specify the density settings for a fmt kilobyte format, as described in fdcontrol(8).
-s fmtstr Specify the density settings using explicit parameters, as described in fdcontrol(8).
-n Do not verify floppy after formatting.
-q Suppress any normal output from the command, and do not ask the user for a confirmation whether to format the floppy disk at
device.
-v Do not format, verify only.
-y Do not ask for confirmation whether to format the floppy disk but still report formatting status.
For non-autoselecting subdevices, neither -f fmt nor -s fmtstr may be specified, since the preconfigured media density settings from the ker-
nel driver will always be used. However, if device is a device with automatic media density selection (see fdc(4)), both methods can be used
to override the density settings for the newly formatted medium (without permanently changing the density settings of device).
If the -q flag has not been specified, the user is asked for a confirmation of the intended formatting process. In order to continue, an
answer of 'y' must be given.
Note that fdformat does only perform low-level formatting. In order to create a file system on the medium, see the commands newfs(8) for a
UFS file system, or newfs_msdos(8) for an MS-DOS (FAT) file system.
EXIT STATUS
An exit status of 0 is returned upon successful operation. Exit status 1 is returned on any errors during floppy formatting, and an exit
status of 2 reflects invalid arguments given to the program (along with an appropriate information written to diagnostic output).
DIAGNOSTICS
Unless -q has been specified, a single letter is printed to standard output to inform the user about the progress of work. First, an 'F' is
printed when the track is being formatted, then a 'V' while it is being verified, and if an error has been detected, it will finally change
to 'E'. Detailed status information (cylinder, head and sector number, and the exact cause of the error) will be printed for up to 10 errors
after the entire formatting process has completed.

The fdformat utility has been developed for 386BSD 0.1 and upgraded to the new fdc(4) floppy disk driver. It later became part of the
FreeBSD 1.1 system. Starting with FreeBSD 5.0, it uses the unified density specifications as described in fdcontrol(8).
AUTHORS
The program has been contributed by Jorg Wunsch, Dresden, with changes by Serge Vakulenko and Andrey A. Chernov, Moscow.
