Hi,
A customer of mine installed AltaVista Intranet Search and is
using Digital Unix 4.0A and UFS.
Since the Search product requires the use of AdvFS, we would like to 
create a new file domain and continue to add additional devices to the
domain as we go on.
I issued the following commands and got the following error message :
mkdir /avs
mkfdmn /dev/rz17c avs_domain
mkfset avs_domain avs
>> [discovery.horizon.com.sg] />mkfset avs_domain avs
>> mkfset: can't create file set 'avs' in domain 'avs_domain'
>> mkfset: error = E_BAD_MAGIC (-1167)
I have also tried creating soft link for /dev/rz18c in the
/etc/fdmns/avs_domain
directory. When I issued the disklabel -r /dev/rz17c, I saw that the file
system was AdvFS. However when I issued the disklabel -r /dev/rz18c, 
the file system was 4.2 BSD. What could the problem be?

You can't do that.  'ln -s /dev/rz18c /etc/fdmns/avs_domain' does not do
everything that 'addvol /dev/rz18c avs_domain' does.
