I am using SPARC Solaris 11.1 with EFI labelled disks.
I am new to ZFS file systems and slightly stuck when trying to create a partition (slice) on one of my LUNs.

I have tried to understand the sectors and so on, but cannot work out what sector I need to create from.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and/or info on sectors.

Thanks in advance

I thought I had figured this out at one point, but I can't remember. Is there a way/command to get the UUIDs of a disk's partitions/slices in FreeBSD? Linux has the blkid command, which doesn't seem to be available. (2 Replies)
