Adding a second SATA disk

Here is the sundocs link that tells you what all is needed to be done for adding a new disk on your machine.

Step-by-Step:
- Connect your disk on your motherboard
- open a terminal and login as superuser
% format
(choose the new disk)
format> fdisk
(create your partitions here and save before exiting ie choose 5)
format> parition
partition> print
partition> modify
(modify your partitions and note down the serial numbers)
partition> quit
format> quit

Now you have the serial numbers of the disk that you just worked on
% newfs
% mount

Hope this helps... Now to playing with zfs

Coolest Looking Sun Product

By now all of us have heard about Project BlackBox and what it actually is. I don't know the product details and the specs as such but what strikes me with this product is that Sun has finally managed to get in some good product design engineers in place. This is by far the coolest looking Sun product I have ever seen. The color combination, plexi and everything in there is not just functionally necessary but also aesthetically well placed. Good job!
