There was some difference of opinion on this. The consensus (and suns answer)
is that there is no problem.
The only difficulty is with df and du:
Online: Disksuite v1.0 (for Solaris 1.x) comes with replacements for the
utilities like df and if you have a copy of OLDS on your network you are
licensed to copy them from the CD to all your Solaris 1.x clients.
> 2. Are there any reliability problems with these 9GB disks?
Mostly not. There were some problems with early batches but these are reported
to be fixed now. One person had lost two drives.
As several people pointed out 9GB is a lot to restore if you do have problems.
