Need to partition root
Hello guys,
I am using Solaris 10 x86 OS. While installing OS i have allocated entire 10 GB space to the root. Now i am not able to create new partition it says me "out of range" or "<cylinder number> not expected". Can someone please help me to allocated a default recommended space i.e 8GB or 9GB to root and rest of the space as free space for me.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhargav

xkballocgeomshapes
XkbAllocGeomShapes(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomShapes(3)
NAME
XkbAllocGeomShapes - Allocate space for an arbitrary number of geometry shapes
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomShapes (XkbGeometryPtr geom, int num_needed);
ARGUMENTS
- geom geometry for which shapes should be allocated
- num_needed
number of new shapes required
DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides a number of functions to allocate and free subcomponents of a keyboard geometry. Use these functions to create or modify key-
board geometries. Note that these functions merely allocate space for the new element(s), and it is up to you to fill in the values
explicitly in your code. These allocation functions increase sz_* but never touch num_* (unless there is an allocation failure, in which
case they reset both sz_* and num_* to zero). These functions return Success if they succeed, BadAlloc if they are not able to allocate
space, or BadValue if a parameter is not as expected.
XkbAllocGeomShapes allocates space for num_needed shapes in the specified geometry geom. The shapes are not initialized.
To free geometry shapes, use XkbFreeGeomShapes.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range
