Hi,
I have a couple of external 500Gb Lacie USB 2.0 devices (Porsche design ones).
I'm having trouble getting them recognised in Solaris:
$ rmformat -l
Looking for devices...
1. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0
Physical Node: /pci at 0,0/pci1043,8277 at 1a,7/storage at 1/disk at 0,0
Connected Device: LaCie LaCie Hard Drive 0000
Device Type: <Unknown>
...
3. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0p0
Physical Node: /pci at 0,0/pci1043,8277 at 1a,7/storage at 2/disk at 0,0
Connected Device: LaCie LaCie Hard Drive 0000
Device Type: <Unknown>
$ iostat -En

$ fdisk -R -W - /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0p0
fdisk: Cannot open device /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0p0.
$ fdisk -R -W - /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0
fdisk: Cannot open device /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0.
Any ideas what else I can try. Both disks are currently formatted NTFS and are
recognised in Windows. I want to clear them down and use as ZFS backup drives.
Many thanks,
Ben
