hello All!
I have sun ultra5 pc with 9GB HDD and I'm planning to add 20GB HHD for future expansion and it is coming from my old intel based pc. My problem is everytime I formatted the new HD the system only gives me the result of free space for about 2GB+ as a maximum space.
I have manufacturer disk system but it doesn't work on unix. Is there any built-in command in unix that I could fix this problem.
Your inputs would be greatly appreciated.

hiho,
first of all never call a sun "PC" !! *hehe* you are sitting in front of a workstation... PC=IBM/x86
so.......
pls post your solaris version:
# uname -a
pls post your disks
# echo | format
pls post how you formated it
perhabs you format only one partition !?! with
# format
you get into a partion-tool choose the new disk and look whether the system knows what type of disk it is.... otherwise you would have to define it your selfe (cyl, head, ...)
