Essentially it Uses disks or disk slices - either method is possible though using disks is preferred because when ZFS manages the whole disk it will turn on the device's on-disk hardware Write-caching function. It will not do this if only a slice is given to ZFS because basically write-caching is a bad thing for other file system types (corruption may occur if any slices host file systems other than ZFS on a disk with write caching enabled).<BR/><BR/>About zvols: These are "block devices" created from space allocated in a ZFS disk pool. These can be used to store other filesystems (eg a UFS file system), or for Swap devices, etc, just like a raw disk slice can be used. You are however not allowed to create a new ZFS pool using a zvol :-)Hartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824732314287062186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643404517377030815.post-36067715300315032202008-10-06T07:33:00.000+02:002008-10-06T07:33:00.000+02:00Great post!

The fdisk partition table will display and from there you can see which partition is the Solaris partition.<BR/><BR/>If you are doing some kind of hockey-pokey with hidden partitions etc to be able to use multiple Solaris partitions, then I'd say you are on your own and better keep track of what is where on the disk rather carefully.Hartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824732314287062186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643404517377030815.post-12768160348505302762008-08-08T11:47:00.000+02:002008-08-08T11:47:00.000+02:00Hi Joe, indeed I did not mention EFI labels.
