You have some old information there. The Solaris fdisk partition type no longer is the same as the Linux swap type. The source for the `fdisk' command contains a table of all partition types, with these two included: Solaris/Linux swap, /* 130 */ Solaris2, /* 191 */ These are 0x82 and 0xbf respectively. The illumos fdisk command selects the second one by default, and will offer to change from the old one to the new one. It has nothing to do with fdisk, but with the installer when using a disk already partitioned. The installer refused to install on a disk where two Solaris partitions were present (one of them being intended for the Linux swap, not to be changed to 0xbf). I have just made a try, and this is also true for oi151a8 : if you have two partitions with types 0x82 and 0xbf, the installer refuses to install, displaying There must be only one Solaris partition. It sounds as if the OI installer needs to be fixed. Can you file a bug report on this problem, if it hasn't already been done? Done as bug #4096 (who is going to get the next power of 2 ?) ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

I see that you submitted your bug report under: https://www.illumos.org/projects/illumos-gate/issues That's for illumos bugs only. Yours should be under: https://www.illumos.org/projects/openindiana/issues since it's an OI bug. I assume that the bug is in the slim_source consolidation. It should be an easy fix for anyone who knows Python. I couldn't find a way to move it. Perhaps you can delete it and recreate it instead. -- -Gary Mills--refurb--Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

I remember that I discussed it with responsible engineers years ago, they had some reason for this. But I forgot it :-( I see that you submitted your bug report under: https://www.illumos.org/projects/illumos-gate/issues That's for illumos bugs only.
