fmthard showing error with prtvtoc
Hi all,

I am trying to use the disk for mirror where in the mirror disk is of 160 gb and the rootdisk is of 80 gb. when i am trying to write the vtoc i am getting below error

i tried the below command

#prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 |fmthard -s -/dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s0

and got below

fmthard : Partition 2 specifies the full disk and its not equal
full size of disk. the full disk capacity is 267374640 sectors

what can be done apart from manually slicing the second disk

Thanks

Post the output of prtvtoc for both disks. Also do you want to simply ignore the send half of the second disk...that it pretend that it is 80 GB?
