I just did an new install of 9.3 and have 4 disks. I can see all 4 of them in the "Disks" menu, but only 3 of them show up int the Volume Manager.

How do I add the missing disk?

Thanks,

Craig

Is the disk new and/or blank?

In another thread you mentioned that you had previously been running 8.3x and using UFS. Was the "missing disk" one of these? If so, did you blank it before trying to re-use with 9.3?

It's one of the same disks from the old system. All of them had data on them, but this was the only one that didn't show up in the Volume manager.

Did you backup your data elsewhere and blank these disks before reusing them?

If not, please give us more details on what you've done so far.
