    Hello,
    I am a Sun/Solaris newbie.

    I have a Sun Sparc 10 with Solaris 2.6.

    The system has 2 internal, and 2 external,
    hard drives with an external CD ROM drive
    and a Tape drive drive all attached to the
    same controller (c0).

    Both external drives have several slices
    (partitions). Each external has the same
    fault whereby one of their slices (has data)
    cannot be mounted. The other slices can be
    mounted. I have tried "fsck -o b=#####".

    Thankyou in advance
