use "newfs" to create a filesystem on your drive.

or better, "zpool create". (Solaris 10 and newer)

I have seen similar when I formatted a slice six and accidently newfs'ed on slice 2.

Slice 6 kept saying it saw a fs of unknown type until figured out what had happened...slice 2 mounted fine. Smilie

I tried as 'newfs -m 1 \dev\rdsk\c0t1d0s0' but still the same error message.

i hope you used / and not \ in your devicepath... try.

Code:
newfs /dev/dsk/c0t1d0sX

for a better overview you might want to post the output of "prtvtoc /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2". or you just go for a zpool which is much easier to use...

Hello, no one would newfs or mount slice 2. I suggest you prtvtoc your disk again, label it, then newfs slice 0, 3,4 or 6 eg and try mounting it
