Sunfire 280R Solaris 5.9 booting

UNIX Solaris

Hi,

I have to question:

1) when O/S is booting, i see messages:
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s5: is logging
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s3: is logging
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s7: is logging

i partitioned these slices during installation of O/S 5.9. I can access to these mountpoint no problem. But when i #format then >verify, or df -h
the /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s3 is show as unassigned. This slice is /datafile.
I'm very curious how comes it shows unassigned whereas i still able to access? What is logging means?

2) try to find the speed of my interface
#ifconfig -a
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
eri0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 10.117.18.71 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.117.18.255
ether 0:3:ba:5c:eb:a5

#ndd -get /dev/eri link_speed
1
it returns 1. is this means 1000MB (1Giga bit?)

Thanks.

The mount point are associated with the mount points in the /etc/vfstab file.
It is not a Must for you to define them under the "format" utility as it is mainly used for partition/cylinder sizing.

And for the link_speed and link_mode:-
link_status: 0=down 1=up
link_mode: 0=half duplex 1=full duplex
link_speed: 0=10Mbps 1=100Mbps

When UFS logging is enabled, UFS write operations are broken into transactions which are stored to a log before being committed to the filesystem. The use of UFS logging maintains filesystem consistency and prevents the need to run fsck against the filesystem. This can significantly reduce the time required to reboot a system.
