Your best bet is to set up the primary partitions on the drive using Solaris - setting one as EXT-DOS, then use Linux to set up the secondary partitions within that. I've no idea why all-space-hog was trying to grab the whole disk, but I've never used that option before. I do know that if you get rid of the EFI label, create the FDISK partitions manually in Solaris, then create the slices manually as well, it works fine. You can then set up Linux OK as well.
Forget EFI - you can't have both FDISK partitions and EFI partitions on the same disk. And since EFI partitions are not bootable, that means you are stuck with FDISK partitions. Bear in mind that in order to access the ZFS pool which has been upgraded to version 11 you need to be running at least build 94. It seems that Solaris will indeed access a ZFS pool that is not in a slice, but directly contained by an FDISK partition, so presumably you would want something like this: Partition 1: SOLARIS2 Partition 2: OTHER (partition type "OTHER" in Solaris - this should work with Linux OK) Partition 3: NTFS Partition 4: EXT-DOS containing your secondary partitions for Linux. Partition 2 would contain a nice new ZFS pool for sharing data between Solaris and Linux. Cheers Andrew. This message posted from opensolaris.org
