Hello,
I finally got the new drive and I am in the process of moving the data. The
problem I have now is that I can't mount the NTFS partition. I followed the
directions here:

Are you going to use this machine as a fileserver, at least the OpenSolaris
part? You might consider trying EON storage (http://eonstorage.blogspot.com/),
which just runs on a CD. If that's all you need, then you don't have to worry
about partitioning around Windows, since Windows won't be able
Frank,
The format utility is not technically correct because it refers to
slices as partitions. Check the output below.
We might describe that the "partition" menu is used to partition the
disk into slices, but all of format refers to partitions, not slices.
I agree with Brandon's explanation,

As I am just realizing. The installer does not have any kind of partition
software.
I have a linux boot disc and I am contemplating using gparted to resize the win
partition to create a raw 50GB empty partition. Can the installer format

you can do a sneaky thing.. Mount your ZFS filesystem over NFSv4 from

You can use ufsrestore/ufsdump, tar, and cpio to migrate the POSIX-ACLs
to ZFS-ACLs.

Hi Rafael,
The information on that site looks very out-of-date. I will attempt to
resolve this problem.
Other than using Live Upgrade to migrate a UFS root file system to a ZFS
root file system, you can use ufsdump and ufsrestore to migrate UFS data
to ZFS file system.

Hi,
According to
http://www.sun.com/emrkt/campaign_docs/expertexchange/knowledge/solaris_zfs_install.html#2
we will have a tool for data migration to ZFS (not a root file system).
Do you know when this is happening?
Thanks, Rafael.

Two reasons:

2. I don't have enough spare space to "rejoin" all system slices in a
