Solaris

Has anyone ever tried mirroring with 15k seagate drives? I have never ran into this issue mirroring with 10k seagate drives. This is the error I am getting when attempting to mirror 146GB 15k seagate cheetah drives. It is complaining about overlaps with the metadevice state database. This is running on a sun V210 using solaris 10.

For future reference the fix for this issue is the following:
Mirror one drive first.

Add the following two lines to /kernel/drv/sd.conf. The spacing is very important.

sd-config-list="SEAGATE ST3146855LC ", "hack";
hack=1,0x8,0,0,0,0,0;

Then reboot and mirror the second drive manually.
