Error during filesystem install

[dictum9]

Installing the 11.23 filesystem, after all the configuration stuff, I get this. I've never seen this before, what does it mean?


* Making HFS filesystem for "/stand", (/dev/vg00/rlvol1).
mkfs (hfs): Fragment size (1024) is too small; minimum for 65536 block size is 8192.
ERROR: newfs command failed: (/sbin/fs/hfs/newfs -L -s 524288 -b 65536
/dev/vg00/rlvol1).

The configuration process has incurred an error, would you like
to push a shell for debugging purposes? (y/[n]): y
* Type "exit" to reboot, "exit 2" to ignore error
* Loading in /sbin/sh, please wait...

Well, I redid the whole thing, making /stand 512MB and Hfs (I thought I had that before). And it's cruising through the install just fine. Never mind.

Shalom,

You realize the reason your first attempt failed is that the system default filesystem is set to vxfs.

I hope you had a backup of /stand prior to running newfs on it.

Good Luck,
