Solved my own problem.
To properly create a file system on a LSM volume using newfs you have to
specify the default tracks/cylynder and the number of sectors/track. This
was accomplished by using the following command:
newfs -t16 -u99 /dev/vol/vol1
if you use the disklabel -r on the disks you have you just need to tell
newfs what to set the -t -u options to, and then it worked fine.
