Solaris

I'm posting the output from two disks on my Solaris machine. The first part is the output from using the format command and then using the verify option on each disk. The last part is the output from my df -k command. I'm trying to match the partition to the filesystem/mount point. I'm assuming the disks are mirrored. Is there a command or option under format that better shows the correlation between the partition and mount point? I was also wondering why partition 0 and 2 seem to overlap as they both begin at cylinder 0?

Section 2 is always the entire disk. Use "metastat d2" to learn about metadisk d2. You're right, probably a mirror.

okay. I did a man page on metastat. I don't think that is exactly what I'm looking for. I have an HP-UX back ground and I'm used to the bdf command. You can easliy see the volume group and logical volume with the mount point also displayed. Is there anything in Solaris more like this output? Or how do I determine what partition the filesystem column is referring to in the df -k output?

bdf example -
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol3 143360 76148 63228 55% /

Solaris is not HP-UX and DiskSuite is not LVM. "metastat d2" will tell you all there is to know about d2. Try that command.

I did the metastat d2 command. It still doesn't help me understand the correlation between partition/slice and mount point. It seems to deal with the mirroring aspect, which is great to know. And I understand that Solaris isn't like HP-UX, I was just using that to show my point and the information I was looking for.

Here's the output from metastat -
d2: Mirror
Submirror 0: d0
State: Okay
Submirror 1: d1
State: Okay
Pass: 1
Read option: roundrobin (default)
Write option: parallel (default)
Size: 4100928 blocks

d0: Submirror of d2
State: Okay
Size: 4100928 blocks
Stripe 0:
Device Start Block Dbase State Hot Spare
c1t0d0s0 0 No Okay


d1: Submirror of d2
State: Okay
Size: 4111104 blocks
Stripe 0:
Device Start Block Dbase State Hot Spare
c1t1d0s0 0 No Okay

Well
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 is d0
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 is d1

d0 and d1 were combined to make d2

c1t1d0s0 is slice 0 that's what the s0 means.

What else are you looking for?

Something that might say
Partition/slice | size | mount point
c1t1d0s0 GB or MB /
c1t1d0s1 GB or MB /var
etc., etc...
