The answer: chill. don't be so impatient. Go out and have a cup of coffee. Thats a lot of disk space that SDS has to configure. Wait until "metastat d5" says ok before trying to newfs it. And yes, I was trying to newfs the raw partition, that was just a typo. Thanks to all who answered so fast. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Christopher L.
