I suspect what you are remembering is a reference to a slice
for a metadb replica. This is a location to store a copy of the
metadevice state database between reboots. If you are using Solaris
Volume Manager (used to be called Disk Suite) to mirror or otherwise
manage volumes you will need space for metadb replicas, but they do
not have to be on a dedicated slice, they can share a slice with other
another metadevice.
I can't find the link to the "Best Practice" document on this,
perhaps another list member has it handy.
