ah - didn't know that

doesn't seem to work too well:

root at tos-backup:~# luxadm display /dev/rdsk/c0t50014EE0AD1F8EEAd0s0

ERROR: No Fibre Channel Adapters found.
Error: Invalid pathname (/dev/rdsk/c0t50014EE0AD1F8EEAd0s0)

Any idea what can be done here?

Vennlige hilsener / Best regards

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
