sun storedge
I just installed sun storedge 3310 connected to a sunfire 280R with a total siz of 680GB and now am trying to create filesystems.

issue format command and created my partitions, the largest size of the partition is 170GB. but I try to create new filesystems by using newfs like

newfs /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0

I received the following error message

newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0: (y/n)? y
Minimum bytes per inode is 11992
With 32385 sectors per cylinder, minimum cylinders per group is 16
This requires the fragment size to be changed from 1024 to 8192
Please re-run mkfs with corrected parameters

I also tried
newfs -v -f 8192 /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0 still same error message.

Can you Help? please

Thanks

........
have you already tried:

# newfs -T /dev/rdsk/cXtXdXsX

the -T should set the parameters of the file system to allow eventual growth to over a terabyte in total file system size.
