Hi Clive, What you are asking is not recommended nor supported and could render your ZFS root pool unbootable. (I'm not saying that some expert couldn't do it, but its risky, like data corruption risky.)
ZFS expects the partition boundaries to remain the same unless you replace the original disk with another disk, attach another disk and detach the original disk, or expand a pool's an underlying LUN. If you have a larger disk, this is what I would recommend. Attach the larger disk and the detach the smaller disk. The full steps are documented on the solarisinternals.com wiki, ZFS troubleshooting section, replacing the root pool disk steps. Thanks, Cindy On 06/16/11 13:21, Clive Meredith wrote:
Problem: I currently run a duel boot machine with a 45Gb partition for Win7 Ultimate and a 25Gb partition for OpenSolaris 10 (134). I need to shrink NTFS to 20Gb and increase the ZFS partion to 45Gb. Is this possible please? I have looked at using the partition tool in OpenSolaris but both partition are locked, even under admin. Win7 won't allow me to shrink the dynamic volume, as the Finsh button is always greyed out, so no luck in that direction. Thanks in advance.
