I'm always not very confident with solaris format. I love the creation of an EFI labeled ZFS disk. But alas, that's not possible here cause it has to boot. So, what steps exactly do I take with format: how do I see the exact sieze of the new disk? Do I slice it up (s1, s2) or do I only need a s0 slice? Please give some advice on this? It's not everyday I put in new disks. -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE +http://nagual.nl/ | SunOS 10u7 05/09 ZFS+ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
