hi
In order for solaris to detect 2 of my drives that are SATA
i had to turn raid off and set them to IDE.
i want to format them so that i am able to write to them
they are in NTFS right now and i am able to mount
and read from them but can not write to them.
i am not familar with UFS or ZFS or Pools but here is where i got stuck
code:
format

0. c0d0 <drive type unknown>
/pci at 0,0/pci-ide at f/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0
