Hello,
I've installed SXDE 1/08 early this year on my x64 box and now it seems I've 
not been that lucky in choosing the right partitioning schema. It looks as 
(obtained from fdisk tool):

             Total disk size is 19457 cylinders
             Cylinder size is 16065 (512 byte) blocks

                                               Cylinders
      Partition   Status    Type          Start   End   Length    %
      =========   ======    ============  =====   ===   ======   ===
          1                 IFS: NTFS         0  2431    2432     12
          2                 BSD OS         2432  3647    1216      6
          3       Active    Solaris2       3648  13373    9726     50
          4                 EXT-DOS        13374  16413    3040     16


Solaris is using active Solaris2 partition. Inside this is ufs space for root 
and then zfs pool for /opt, /usr/local, /export/home and /export/zone etc. The 
problem is I'm getting short off ZFS pool space and so I would like to:

1) change NTFS partition to something which is attachable by solaris
2) create appropriate slices on such changed partition (if needed at all)
3) attach this partition to the current zfs pool.

The situation is a little bit more complicated by the fact that machine is 
using 2 drives with zfs pool mirroring and with the same partition setup (I 
made it simply by installing sxde first on one drive and then on the second). 
So I will need to repeat steaps 1-2 for second drive too and modify (3) to 
attach mirror of the two partitions to the current zfs pool. The zfs pool looks 
like:

# zpool status
  pool: pool
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: scrub completed with 0 errors on Sun Jun 29 09:39:00 2008
config:

        NAME          STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        pool          ONLINE       0     0     0
          mirror      ONLINE       0     0     0
            c1t0d0s7  ONLINE       0     0     0
            c1t1d0s7  ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors


My question is: is something like that possible? If possible, I wouldn't like 
to reinstall everything...

Thanks,
Karel
