goal: expand the solaris partition
I have a disc with XP and Solaris and would like to increase the size of my Solaris partition (partition here is not the solaris definition). Gparted shows there is a very small 7mb partition at the beginning /dev/sda1. does that hold the MBR and what would happen if I delete that partition. I have sda2 as FAT, which is visible to solaris, sda3 is NTFS, and then sda4 is osol. it is 15 Gb and osol tells me I have used 8Gb, but there is only 2Gb left. so when i try to upgrade it runs out of space and I have to delete rpool/dump it is interesting to know where is the lost space, but it should be easier to expand. I have 250Gb of unallocated space following osol. my plan was to have that as a Linux swap and that add that to rpool. Gparted won't let me have sda5, though. So I would like to delete sda1 if it won't ruin everything. Please, comment. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
