Ken Cunningham;

there was a thread from 2009 where you were asking about creating a filesystem on a partition where a replica existed. The link is dead but hoping you may have kept a copy of the procedure.

Believe me I know this is not a good idea but I need to fix something and that is how they created it and need to put it back the same way.

Thanks
 
never mind another 1 of the guys in the group dug it up in some old notes.

basically
need to create the replica on the device
then
metainit and create the raid device

then newfs /dev/md/dsk/d# (whatever you name it)

if you try to newfs /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s# you will destroy the replicas so you have to newfs the metadevice

Thanks
 
Hey Chris. Sorry about that, I don't really frequent this site as much as I should these days, but glad you got a solution. 2009 seems an age away doesn't it? I'm into my last 12 months before retiring, so if anyone knows of any Solaris/Oracle based part time stuff in and around Glasgow from next April, let me know!

All the best.
