Hello Brian,
Thank your for your answer.
To be honest, I am not so familiar with OpenSolaris. I usually have no major
issue with Gentoo Linux or FreeBSD but Solaris is kinda new for me and as you
can see, at the moment I am fairly stuck with this. I don't know how to get
this work...
I reformated the whole HD yesterday with Linux fdisk and I had no issue
with 'sector 689088'. Anyway even if the sector on the HD was damaged (which
is possible), the format procedure should take care of that and quarantine
the sector.
