A few people responded with yes I was hosed. But Darren Dunham replied with this: "The data displayed is coming from the label, which was copied from the other disk. I would try destroying the label and then having Solaris construct a new one. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 bs=1b count=1 Then run 'format'. I'm not sure if you'll have to reboot or not, hopefully not ( I DID NOT ). The problem is that the 'sd' driver might cache information, and you can't unload the 'sd' driver without a reboot. If it works, you'll be prompted to create a new label for the disk, and it will construct a default one based on the disk parameters, which should be pretty close." I did this and it restored my drive label, I then created my slices and did my clone with ufsdump and all is well.. Thanks Again Rob Original Message: I have an external scsi hd that is 9 gb that I use to boot off of my U5's for cloning. On this system I installed an internal 80 drive. Booted off of the 9gb drive fine, did format and labled the new 80 drive. Usually I create the slices and ufsdump on the new disk. But this time I tried dd. # dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 of=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 bs=4096k now when I do format it shows the drives the same: AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: (Should be Western digitial) 0. c0t0d0 /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@0,0 1. c1t2d0 /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4/sd@2,0 Specify disk (enter its number): Am I hosed?? Is there a way I get get the drive c0t0d0 to be seen as the Western digitial again???
