So, I can see that you have not partitioned the slices correctly.They are overlapping :
Code:
FIRST DISK : c1t1d0
Current partition table (unnamed):
Total disk cylinders available: 24620 + 2 (reserved cylinders)
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
1 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
2 backup wu 0 - 24619 33.92GB (24620/0/0) 71127180
3 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
6 unassigned wm 0 - 23955 33.00GB (23956/0/0) 69208884
7 unassigned wm 0 - 35 50.78MB (36/0/0) 104004
partition> label
Ready to label disk, continue? y
Code:
So Now tell me where did i made the mistake...
As you can see 7th slice starts with cylinder-0 and ends with cylinder-35.So, 6th slice should start with cylinder-36 and end with cylinder-23955.Which is not their in your case.So, make it correct.
Same is the case with SECOND DISK.
Code:
How to delete a partiton properly from format utility?
In you case, if I am not wrong you want :
7th slice --->> 50.78MB
6th slice --->> 33.00GB
SO, you can do following :
Code:
For 7th slice :
Enter partition id tag[unassigned]:
Enter partition permission flags[wm]:
Enter new starting cyl[0]:
Enter partition size[0b, 0c, 0e, 0.00mb, 0.00gb]: 50.00mb
partition> label
Code:
For 6th slice :
Enter partition id tag[unassigned]:
Enter partition permission flags[wm]:
Enter new starting cyl[0]:36 ----->>> Notice this.
Enter partition size[0b, 0c, 0e, 0.00mb, 0.00gb]: 33.00gb
partition> label

Hi,
I am having two metadevices d50 and d100 which are used to created soft partitions as and when required.
d50 and d100 are metadevices formed on different disks.
d50 -- disks 0 & 1
d100 -- disks 2 & 3
I have a soft partition d70 os 50 GB on d50. Now there is no free space on d50.

In my infinite lack of wisdom, I brought a Solaris 10(Sparc, 64 bit ) system down to init 1, detached a metadrive so that I could run format->analyze->refresh on it, and then reinit'd and reattached it .
It started syncing the drive as it's a submirror of a mirrored drive, which happens... (8 Replies)
