UPDATE: trouble with 36 GB disk...
2007-12-24 19:29:00
I do understand that slice 2 is the backup partition. I didn't make any
reference to it, because it doesn't seem important to the question at hand.
I have RTFM'ed on newfs, fsck, and format (and various other things in the
near and distant past).
I have searched for answers on access1.sun.com to no avail.
I have also scoured every mailing list archive I could find (seen some
related questions, but no answers to them).
I'm not a Solaris newbie, and am using this list as an absolute last resort
(as it should be).
Here are some additional details and context.
If you missed the original post, the long and short of it is "fsck/mount
won't work correctly on my 36G disk"
/etc/vfstab looks like this:
#device device mount FS fsck mount
mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot
options
#
#/dev/dsk/c1d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c1d0s2 /usr ufs 1 yes -

they are needed for the above filesystems (u01-u07)
(this is going to be a development server simulating a big, bad Oracle8i
database server...the multiple slices would correspond to individual
fault-tolerant storage devices on the production machine)

yep, see below (well, I guess you figured it out when you responded)

nope, newfs finished with no errors
