Hi Jan,
I tried out what you say long ago, but zfs fails on pool creation.
This is, when I issue the zpool create trunk /dev/dsk/c9d0p3 the command
fails saying that there's no such file or directory. And the disk is
correct!!
What I think is that /dev/dsk/c9d0p3 is a symbolic name used by FSWpart,
and it's not a valid device name for zpool.
Thanks anyway,
Antonio

Hi all,
First of all let me say that, after a few days using it (and after several
*years* of using Linux daily), I'm delighted with OpenSolaris 8.11. It's gonna
be the OS of my choice.
The fact is that I installed it in a partition of 16Gb in my hard disk and that
I'd like to add another partition to the system (I have different partitions
with Linux and Windows and some others).
So the questions are:
1.- How do I add an existing partition to OpenSolaris? (Should I change the partition
type or something? Shall I "grow" ZFS or shall I mount the extra partition
somewhere else?)
yes. You can create a new zpool from your free/spare partition.
I had the same problem. I wanted to use Linux partition as a mirror.
So here is how to:
Follow this blog -
http://blogs.sun.com/pradhap/entry/mount_ntfs_ext2_ext3_in
* install FSWpart and FSWfsmisc
* run prtpart (find out your disk ID)
* figure out partitions ID: prtpart "disk ID" -ldevs
* create zpool from linux partition e.g. zpool create trunk /dev/dsk/c9d0p3
* check it out: zpool list or zpool status
2.- Would you please recommend a good introduction to Solaris/OpenSolaris? I'm
used to Linux and I'd like to get up to speed with OpenSolaris.
sure, OpenSolaris Bible :)
