I'm not positive, but solaris 2.4 might not be able to support a 9gb
drive. There's a chart on the sun site somewhere that will tell you
for sure...
I'm assuming that you formatted it already, but you might want to try
to reformat and break it up into smaller partitions... or upgrade to
a later version of solaris..

Thank you very much!
The command without -N create correctly the UFS file

Sure they do have Y2K and security patches (up to Jan 2002)
