But the online Solaris documentation (<a href="http://docs.sun.com">docs.sun.com</a>, very good, always worth the look) had the right answer: <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">slice 2:<br />refers to the entire disk, by convention. This slice is defined<br />automatically by the format utility and the Solaris installation<br />programs. The size of this slice should not be changed.</span><br />The meaning of all slices can also be found in the <a href="http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-4073/6jd67r9ft?a=view">SUN online documentation</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6955042-111822233534234186?l=unixadminsdiary.blogspot.com'/></div>Blue.Balloonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13243598108616566239noreply@blogger.com1
