OK I have a multi-boot situation to and this might not help you but I decided
to buy a new blank hard drive and try something.
It came NTFS instead of deleting it and preparing new partitions as I had done
previously I decided to shrink it and add ZFS and UFS primary. This was
actually show as partition0,partition1 and partition2. I loaded Windows7 in
partition0 and opensolaris 2009-06 into the single hard drive no problem. Next
I loaded Ubuntu.com 10.1. This actually involved some slice manipulation.It
lost the ubuntu grub but stays in opensolaris grub so the other two OS levels
are bootable but the whole device stays in an apparent write through state. So
I booted into ubuntu which I had available in another hd through bios switching.
Anyway sure enough, looking at the device from disk utility it actually shows a
NTFS partition at 173 GB the ZFS opensolaris partition at 159 GB and the native
linux partition is shown extended extended 149 GB still leaving 19 GB free. All
of that was expected and totals correctly to device capacity but within the
Extended native linux partition are five visible slices. The first is 159 GB
shown as Swap Space Solaris 0xbf. No partition flag no label /dev/sdb9.Next
another 159 Swap Space Solaris 0xbf no partition flag no label /dev/sbd8. Next
is the 159 GB ZFS filesystem Solaris 0xbf type zfs no label /dev/sdb7. Next is
my Swap Space 4GB which was set to match available RAM Linux swap 0x82
partition flag bootable but doesn't work /dev/sdb5 and finally the the 145GB
filesystem Linux 0x83 type Ext3 version 1.0 no label /dev/sdb6.
To me this raises many questions primarily with default share File Transfer
Protocols within whatever OS you are booted into. My first question is with the
given World Wide Name of the whole device. It still has one so it must be
something retained from original NTFS unallocated factory Partition since my
other drives lost theirs. Is it resettable within given system ? Next what if
anything could the Public root share folder in solaris contain it might not
have one now I can't get any of my machines to load in solaris11 express but
it use to. I never thought about machine ID folder snapshot ftp transmitted out
to Oracle cloud. Did try to manipulate transfer between machines behind my
firewall but never got the procedure down and really most tries were with user
admin public.
