Solaris UFS partitioning for the X4500
My first try at getting a Solaris partition table (according to
this howto):
Customize Disk: c6t0d0
Boot Disk: c6t0d0
Entry: Recommended: Cyls Minimum: Cyls
================================================================================
Slice Mount Point Size (Cyls) Start Cyl End Cyl
0 / 59793 1005 60797
1 swap 1000 1 1000
2 overlap 60798 0 60797 (look at comment below)
3 2 1001 1002 (for meta DB)
4 2 1003 1004 (for meta DB)
5 0 0 0
6 0 0 0
7 0 0 0
================================================================================
Solaris Partition Size: 60800 Cyls
OS Overhead: 3 Cyls
Usable Capacity: 60797 Cyls
Allocated: 60797 Cyls
Free: 0 Cyls
overlap: This partition is some Solaris internal thing and covers the whole of the disk. The other partitions
Seem to live inside it. Just ignore it and leave the values as they are.
In MB this amounts to:
Slice Mount Point Size (MB)
0 / 469030
1 swap 7844
2 overlap 476913
3 15
4 15
When the system is up, one can use the
prtvtoc
command to print the partition table
prtvtoc /dev/dsk/c6t0d0s2
* /dev/dsk/c6t0d0s2 partition map
*
* Dimensions:
* 512 bytes/sector
* 63 sectors/track
* 255 tracks/cylinder
* 16065 sectors/cylinder
* 60800 cylinders
* 60798 accessible cylinders
*
* Flags:
* 1: unmountable
* 10: read-only
*
* First Sector Last
* Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory
