Hi Dave and All, Sorry for responding to my own email, but I was wrong about the preservation of data and the feature being complete in the current code. >>> >> >> If I didn't have a preservation capability, then what would I be able >> to do with the VTOC management? > > The thinking was we would be let the user create vtoc slices for use > in the rpool independent of what was currently on the disk.

We would need to make some changes to support an interactive installer. Most specifically, we need to provide support for passing back of slice data to the UI, and validating the user choices. So, it isn't free. We can do basic management of vtoc slices now, that is simply allow the user to create a vtoc slice without validation. We have to see if it makes any sense to do this partial feature first, then add the additional parts of the vtoc slice management. thanks, sarah **** > thanks, > sarah > ****** > >> >> Dave >> _______________________________________________ >> caiman-discuss mailing list >> caiman-discuss at opensolaris.org >> http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/caiman-discuss > > _______________________________________________ > caiman-discuss mailing list > caiman-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/caiman-discuss
