you have to build a filesystem first with "newfs". after that you can use "mount" or edit "/etc/vfstab" to mount the new filesystem.

It can't.
A Solaris2 isn't meant to directly include a filesystem.
You need to create slices on that primary partition first.
Then you create filesystems on these slices that you'll be able to mount.

To create slices, use the format command.

Otherwise, you can go the simpler and much powerful ZFS way.

I used gentoo for a few years ,but Solaris rocks , documentation is like drug for me

edit :

Code:
 zpool create torrent c1t1d0p0

Code:
zfs set compression=on torrent

and that is hole story
