--==_Exmh_-462485028P Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii The subject said it all really. I am trying to format a 2GB JAZ disk with a UFS filesystem. I can label and partition the disk, I only want a single c partition, but when I come to newfs'ing the disk I get an error and the system locks up solid, I can get in via the network, but it takes between 2 and 3 mins for a telnet prompt to appear or for my shell prompt to appear if I use ssh, then it generates an error and every thing appears to be ok once again. I have tried to do this on 3 different disks that all work flawlessly under WinDose. I apologise for not having the actual error message to hand. The procedure I followed was to run /stand/sysinstall select 'Configure' select 'Fdisk' and select 'da2' select 'Label' and create a single label for partition c Exit from sysinstall I ran disklabel -r da2 and saw the correct label so went on to run 'newfs /dev/da2c' and at this point every thing hangs.
