Hi--
I guess I can't begin to understand patching.
Yes, you provided a whole disk to zpool create but it actually
creates a part(ition) 0 as you can see in the output below.
Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 usr wm 256 19.99GB 41927902
Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 usr wm 256 99.99GB 209700062
I'm sorry you had to recreate the pool. This *is* a must-have feature
and it is working as designed in Solaris 11 and with patch 148098-3 (or
whatever the equivalent is) in Solaris 10 as well.
Maybe its time for me to recheck this feature in current Solaris 10
bits.
Thanks,
Cindy

First, sorry for misleading info. Patch 148098-03 indeed not included in
recommended set, but trying to download it shows that 147440-15 obsoletes it
and 147440-19 is included in latest recommended patch set.
Thus time solves the problem elsewhere.
Just for fun, my case was:
A standard LUN used as a zfs filesystem, no redundancy (as storage already
has), and no partition is used, disk is given directly to zpool.
# zpool status xxxxxxxxxxxx-oraarch
pool: xxxxxxxxxxxx-oraarch
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx-oraarch ONLINE 0 0 0
c5t60060E800570B900000070B900006547d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
Partitioning shows this.
partition> pr

Total disk sectors available: 41927902 + 16384 (reserved sectors)

As I mentioned I did not partition it, "zpool create" did. I had absolutely no
idea how to resize these partitions, where to get the available number of sectors and how
many should be skipped and reserved ...
Thus I backed up the 10G, destroyed zpool, created zpool (size was fine now) ,
restored data.
Partition looks like this now, I do not think I could have created it easily
manually.

Thank you for your help.
