Solaris下，一个磁盘包含8个分区，标记为0－7。
分区0位根分区，包含启动的信息
分区2代表整个磁盘
交换分区可以是任何分区，默认为分区1
其它分区用户存放数据
逻辑设备名存放在/dev/dsk和/dev/rdsk中。这些名称是/devices目录下的符号连接。使用逻辑设备名便于系统管理员操作?nbsp;
Sun使用下列命名方式定义逻辑设备名：
/dev/[r]dsk/c#t#d#s#
c:逻辑控制器号
t:物理总线目标号
d:磁盘或逻辑单元号(LUN)
s:分区号
物理设备名表示设备的完整信息，如设备总线地址。物理设备名在/devices目录下。
# ls -l /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 86 Oct 20 16:04 /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s3 ->
../../devices/iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/espdma@5,8400000/esp@5,880
0000/sd@3,0:d
实例名是系统设备的简称。例如：
sdn where s = SCSI, d = disk, and n = 逻辑磁盘号，例如sd0，表示第一个SCSI磁盘设备。
dmesg显示实例名
dmesg命令鉴别系统所连接的设备。以实例和物理设备名称的方式显示。
# dmesg|more

当在系统中增加新设备时，需要重新配置系统的硬件信息。这样，系统就会重新构建/devices和/dev目录。
下面是新增加硬盘的步骤：
1.在根目录下创建一个名为/reconfiguration的空文件，然后重新关机。
2. 将硬盘接上机器，然后开机。
3.用format命令查看新增的硬盘。
# touch /reconfigure
# init 5
# format
