1) System sees the drive
2) formatted OK
3) fdisk'ed ok (100% Solaris, no others)
4) Won't label
5) Won't newfs
Get messages in SYSLOG about 'logical block out of range'.
Are the drivers and kernel capable of supporting this size SCSI drive?

One thing that I ran into with Sol 2.4 (that wasn't true in Sol 2.1 and
Sol 2.4 ea1) was that it wouldn't allow the boot slice to go past the
1024 partition on the disk. Could that be your problem. Have you tried
partioning so your first slice is smaller?

1. 2.4 i486 and Big SCSI - can't label
Installed a 4.2 GB Seagate SCSI Drive for news spooling.
1) formatted OK
2) fdisk'ed OK (single logical drive, all solaris - no dos or any others)
3) contains partition table
4) WON'T LABEL. Get messages in SYSLOG about logical block out of range.
5) Not able to 'newfs'
Maybe a stupid question, but are the SCSI drivers (ADAPTEC 2950W) and kernel
able to support drives of this size?
