Hi Robert,
Thanks for your quick reply.
As for as my knowledge concerns (because I am new to Solaris) the second
slice (e.g. c0t0d0d2) of disk is exactly same to whole disk (e.g. c0t0d0). It
means if we create ZPool on second slice it will create zpool on whole disk.
For example the following two commands does the same job.
$zpool create -f mypool c1t0d0
$zpool create -f mypool c1t0d0s2
How the label of the disk differs from first case ($zpool create -f mypool
c1t0d0) to second case ($zpool create -f mypool c1t0d0s2).
Thanks & Regards
Masthan

Hi All,
ZPOOL / ZFS commands writes EFI label on a device if we create ZPOOL/ZFS fs
on it. Is it true ?
I formatted a device with VTOC lable and I created a ZFS file system on it.
Now which label the ZFS device has ? is it old VTOC or EFI ?
Depends how you've created pool.
If during pool creation you've specified entire disk (c0t0d0 - without slice)
then ZFS
put EFI label. Now if you've specified slice then ZFS has just used that
slice without
changing anything to label.
You can also check current label with format(1M) utility.
