Dumb questions about Sun T3's

[hal]

I'm having a hard time trying to get scrub to work on a T3 slice. I
have it working now scrubbing an A1000 slice. But I can't get the T3
slice to work all I get is "scrub: ioctl DKIOCGMEDIAINFO /dev/dsk/
c3t1d0s6: Inappropriate ioctl for device". When I try to use the -X
option I only get the list of options. Please can I get some advice I
know I'm missing something basic, but I'm lost.

Thanks!

Hi Hal,

You might try the raw (/dev/rdsk/...) path. If that doesn't work,
you can avoid that ioctl by giving scrub the disk size on the
command line (-s size). Also, make sure the device is not
currently mounted.

If you're trying to overwrite a disk partition, -X isn't what you
want. It is used to fill a mounted file system and requires a path
to a directory which it will create and fill with files.

If none of this helps, write back and please include the version
of scrub you're running and what system (uname -a output will do).

Regards,

Jim
