- But my controller is an Adaptec 2320A,
- which seems to have no bad-sector mapping
- [at least I don't think it has]. I cannot afford to spend $$$s on a
- new controller, so I need to mkpart /dev/dsk/0p3.
- I can see no way to do this.
- It cannot be a part of "disk_c0t0" as it is outside that partition.
- Yet to treat it as a new disk would mean it would then need soft
- partitioning [to handle bad sectors].
-
- The "Interactive UNIX System Maintenance Procedures---Version 3.0",
- Section 8.2.7.1 refers to device names of the form citjlksm, where
- ijkm are each integers. Is this the way to refer to controller i,
- disk j, hard partition k, soft partition m? If so, I could soft partition
- my third hard partition.

- But what is the difference? The "Interactive UNIX System Maintenance
- Procedures---Version 3.0", Section 8.2.7.1 refers to "target or LUN",
- with no further explanation. I thought LUN meant "disk or virtual disk".
- Does "slice" mean "partition", in ISC-speak?
