For what its worth, i know you've reported this originally on Solaris 10 but i'm also seeing it on OpenSolaris 2008.11 with exactly the same symptoms as you describe (eg iostat sees the disk but not format or fdisk).
I haven't booted the disk under Windows, but i have booted an Ubuntu Live CD and it sees the disk and i can partition it etc. So this definitely looks like a Solaris/OpenSolaris problem and not a problem with the disk. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list storage-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
