Each partition start block + # nblocks needs to equal (previous start block + previous # nblocks) Take another look at fdisk Solaris2/Solaris x86 shows as a 19 SUNIXOS2 under fdisk Partition.: fdisk -W - /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0 As long as you preserve the the boundaries you can re-import the zfs with out issues, I reload using a inital_install the zfs rpool that sits in the first slize (s0) of format within the fdisk Solaris x86 partition as a FYI and I have used one of slice 3 to 7. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
