Solaris 10 shows wrong disk size

807559Jun 5 2006 — edited Jun 5 2006
Hi,
I installed Solaris 10 on a Shuttle XPC SN95G5V3 with 2 Western Digital WD3200KS SATA Harddrives. Solaris is installed on the first drive. I used about 20 GB for Solaris. The rest of this drive and the second drive is empty. But now Solaris shows that the first drive is all in all 20 GB, including the free space. Here is the output of the format command:

0. c1d0 <DEFAULT cyl 2538 alt 2 hd 256 sec 63>
/pci@0,0/pci-ide@a/ide@0/cmdk@0,0
1. c2d0 <DEFAULT cyl 38758 alt 2 hd 256 sec 63>
/pci@0,0/pci-ide@a/ide@1/cmdk@0,0

It shows 2538 cylinder for c1d0. But the two drives are actual identical.
The Sun Volume Manager shows the warning: "No Solaris Fdisk Partition" at both drives. The SVM can't create a fdisk partition on drive 2. If I click "continue" in the dialog, nothing happens.

I hope, someone can help me. Regards, Daniel
