I haven't tried to do a partition setup with openindiana, and as far as I know, the bootloader it uses doesn't support UEFI. Tim From: Mario Marietto Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 6:10 PM To: Discussion list for OpenIndiana Subject: Re:

Is there something that I should do to get the bootloader (better if it is UEFI) to recognize the other partition ? Il giorno gio 14 ott 2021 alle ore 01:07 Mario Marietto < marietto2...@gmail.com> ha scritto: > Unfortunately I don't have any more disk and I'm out of money :( > > Il giorno gio

Would adding another internal disk (or maybe even external) and installing to that not be satisfactory? That would make the step of getting a bootloader to recognize the other partition entirely optional, as you could just have the bios boot from the other disk. Tim

For me its ok to use ZFS at the end,but I'm forced to install it on a single partition. But I should partition and format the disk to give the 50% to OI before starting the installer ? Il giorno mer 13 ott 2021 alle ore 20:55 Toomas Soome via openindiana-discuss ha scritto: > > > > On 13. Oct

I would suggest finding a machine you can dedicate to running OI on bare metal. You can certainly persist in your partition installation effort but given that you've never used ZFS before IMO you'd just be setting yourself up for a wide range of unforeseen, unique to you, and difficult to

ZFS has been the default on FreeBSD installations for a while now ;) I wouldn't consider using ZFS on anything less than an entire disk good practice, but like driving a car with motorcycle wheels instead of the stock wheels it's something that can be done if truly desired. On Wed, Oct 13, 2021

Hey Mario If you are still using UFS on FreeBSD that is like ext2 on Linux, so if you want to install into another partition, you have to have a partition table that is readable by the illumos kernel. Then you can create a ZFS pool on that partition and install into that. If you are not

I never used ZFS. Is it doable even using another FS that I don't know which type it is ?. For example on FreeBSD the basic FS is ufs. So usually when I install it I choose ufs instead of ZFS. Maybe I will study ZFS later,since now I don't want to make things more complicated than they already
