    Thanks to all who respoded.

    First , we can only use max. 32 Gigs on Solaris 7. So the solution was:

    1) rejumper drive in "32GB clip" mode.
    2) dd if=/dev/zero bs=1b count=16 of=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2
    3) format c0t1d0

    and I got 32 Gigs out of it. Which is more than enough for us.

    Thanks
    Daniel
