What's the output from the following commands:

Code:
eject -l
format

The device appears to be /vol/dev/rdsk/c3t0d0.

What's the output from

Code:
find /vol -ls

What version of Solaris is it exactly?

I think this might be a bug that needs a patch.

Here is version. I have looked at another box. It has identical Sol version and has not any problem.
Probably everybody put a disk or flash and the system wrote it somewhere. But where?

Try
Code:

This might fix the issue.

Great suggestion from jlliagre in post#12. Yes, try that.

The c3t0d0? stuff is the removable media controller (c3 bit) on your hardware managed by the rm manager. You could try deleting the device node that it is trying to format, eg,

Code:
rm -f /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s0
rm -f /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0

or whatever.

See what device nodes exist starting c3......

If the device really doesn't exist, the removable media manager may not recreate the device node thereby fixing the problem.
