Hi all:
I'm a UNIX novice working on a Solaris 8 machine. I got the following staff when I checked my mounted file systems with df -k: /dev/md/dsk/d60 962,571 582952 321865 65% /u01 /dev/md/dsk/d70 13,462,759 7388764 5804740 57% /u02 /dev/md/dsk/d80 17,138,978 7187072 9609127 43% /u03 /dev/md/dsk/d80 ... ... ...etc.
I also found there are a bunch of such files as d0 through d127 under the directory /dev/md/dsk
Can anybody tell me what are d60, d80..etc.? Are they aliases of disk partitions or what? Many thanks in advance to whom sheds some light on this issue.

Your system is running Sun's On-Line DiskSuite; their mirroring software.
As stated above, the d60, d80, etc. are called metadevices and represent the name of a mirror. The mirror consists of disk partitions spread across different disks.
