I have the above as my partiton, i am trying to use asm for my oracle database. I need have partition 4 mounted as root so that i can have partition 4 as raw.
unfortunately, there isn't much you can do if you need root on /dev/rdsk/c1d0t0s4. you would have to re-format the drive. you would essentially back up all your data (ufsdump) to another disk, reformat target drive and then restore data accordingly.

not an oracle expert here but why does it HAVE to be slice 4?

Quote:
Also i want assign size to partition 3 knowing fully well that all space as been exausted.
you will lose data. slices 4-9 on this EFI disk will lose their data as you are requesting new cylinder ranges. notice how the cylinders are contiguous from slice to slice.

Quote:
Also why is partition 5 showing unassigned when it already have a filesystem and mounted as /u01
solaris volume manager no longer uses these 'tag' fields. even though it says 'unassigned' it will still mount /u01 (or any other mount point you specify in /etc/vfstab). it has become more a tradition to tag /, var, /and /usr slices. bottomline is you no longer need to really worry about tags in SVM. however, VxVM still uses tag. just be alert if using veritas.
fyi - possible tags:
  • 0 = unassigned
  • 1 = boot
  • 2 = root
  • 3 = swap
  • 4 = usr
  • 5 = backup
  • 6 = stand
  • 8 = home
  • 9 = alternates

findfs

FINDFS(8)						       System Administration							 FINDFS(8)

NAME

       findfs - find a filesystem by label or UUID

SYNOPSIS

       findfs NAME=value

DESCRIPTION

       findfs  will  search the block devices in the system looking for a filesystem or partition with specified tag. The currently supported tags
       are:

       LABEL=<label>
	      Specifies filesystem label.

       UUID=<uuid>
	      Specifies filesystem UUID.

       PARTUUID=<uuid>
	      Specifies partition UUID. This partition identifier is supported for example for GUID  Partition	Table (GPT) partition tables.

       PARTLABEL=<label>
	      Specifies partition label (name). The partition labels are supported for example for GUID Partition Table  (GPT)	or  MAC  partition
	      tables.

       If the filesystem or partition is found, the device name will be printed on stdout.

       The complete overview about filesystems and partitions you can get for example by

	      lsblk --fs

	      partx --show <disk>

	      blkid

EXIT STATUS

	      0      success
	      1      label or uuid cannot be found
	      2      usage error, wrong number of arguments or unknown option
