Here's a brief summary of my notes from setting up 400 & 750 GB Seagate
drives w/ ufs. Setting up pcfs is similar:
0) disable vold & reboot
mv /etc/vold.conf /etc/vold.conf_disa­bled
init 6
1) plug in the drive and get the drive designation
rmformat -l
2) clear the old MS cruft
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/???? bs=2048 count=10
Note: I don't think this was really necessary.
My notes don't say why I did it.
Probably just habit.
2) get the number of sectors & create primary partition
fdisk /dev/rdsk/????
3) format the drive w/ newfs
newfs -v [your choice of options] -s number_of_sectors /dev/rdsk/????
Thehardpart was figuring out I needed to give the "-s #_sectors" option.
you'll get a message from newfs that the drive returns a size of zero,
but a seek to the specified size succeeds so it is using the size you
gave it. I've encountered the same message everytime I've formatted a
USB drive. I assume it's a error in the USB mass storage driver failing
to propagate the information properly.
4) mount -F ufs [your mount options] /dev/dsk/???? /mnt
Have Fun!

This is what I've done:

# rmformat -l

SELECT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. Create a partition
2. Specify the active partition
3. Delete a partition
4. Change between Solaris and Solaris2 Partition IDs
5. Exit (update disk configuration and exit)
6. Cancel (exit without updating disk configuration)

Enter Selection: 6

So now, what do I type in for the "newfs" command?
I don't know what the number of sectors is.
By the way, does the newfs command format the external hard disk?

Then after the "newfs" command, can I do this command:

# mount -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0p0 /mnt

Here is what I used to get the sector count:

# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0p0
* /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0p0 partition map
*
* Dimensions:
* 512 bytes/sector
* 63 sectors/track
* 255 tracks/cylinder
* 16065 sectors/cylinder
* 60800 cylinders
* 60798 accessible cylinders
*
* Flags:
* 1: unmountable
* 10: read-only
*
* Unallocated space:
* First Sector Last
* Sector Count Sector
* 16065 976703805 976719869
*
* First Sector Last
* Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory
2 5 01 0 976719870 976719869
8 1 01 0 16065 16064


So, my command was:

# newfs -v -s 976719870 /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0p0

on a West Dig USB drive (500GB) attached to a Sun X2100 + Solaris 10
X85 08/07
