Hello, For EFI labelled disk, the full disk is not represented by s2 slice but by only disk name like "cXtYdZ".

Newbie query about patch
Hi, We have a Solaris 10 V490 server installed 2 years ago and did not apply any kernel patch or cluster patch as no down time granted. Now the application wanted to have it patch to the latest level. Can I down load the latest cluster patch and apply it to the system? If not, how should I go about it? I have... 18 Feb 2010 10:34

ioctl or api to get size of fdisk partition p0 (entire physical disk) on solaris x86

Joe Little's 2yr-old "little note" on backup via Amanda: anything better since then?
Back in 2008 (a long time ago, in zfs-development?) Joe Little wrote up a "Little Note" about doing zfs backups via Amanda. What's the advantage of doing it that way? (Seems complicated, having to learn the not-trivial Amanda system, plus some other piece of software whose name I forget.) Anyway, was that th... 17 Feb 2010 00:14
