SUMMARY: Soft Partition on Raid 1 volume on Solaris 10 on Intel

Thanks for the fast answers! - and I sit here and hang my head in shame as I 
used mkfs and not newfs...  Too much Linux I guess...

Thanks to Gary P. and Simon B.

Gary's answer:
You're *far* better off using newfs here; ie:

# newfs /dev/md/rdsk/d100

Simon's answer:
I always use the full device file newfs -v /dev/md/dsk/d100

regards
Markus
