By the way, I used an 18GB disk size for my solaris install (9 at the moment, moving to Solaris 10 soon)
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 12G 176M 11G 2% / /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 7.7G 889M 6.7G 12% /usr /proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd swap 3.2G 40K 3.2G 1% /var/run swap 3.2G 0K 3.2G 0% /tmp /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 3.8G 551K 3.8G 1% /opt /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 34G 110M 33G 1% /2nd_disk /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 7.9G 37K 7.8G 1% /export/home This is the size of my slices (above) after the installation of the bundled cluster of patches. Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 root wm 0 - 3413 11.72GB (3414/0/0) 24580800 1 swap wu 3414 - 4125 2.44GB (712/0/0) 5126400 2 backup wm 0 - 9876 33.91GB (9877/0/0) 71114400 3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 5 unassigned wm 4126 - 5263 3.91GB (1138/0/0) 8193600 6 usr wm 5264 - 7539 7.81GB (2276/0/0) 16387200 7 home wm 7540 - 9876 8.02GB (2337/0/0) 16826400 (note slice 2 shows the entire available storage of all slices - I've got two disks if 18gb mounted - should total to 36gb; why it shows 33gb I'm not sure - but slice 2 - backup reports all available slices combined) If anyone wishes to add to this or sees something I missed (or goofed) please join in... But the standard slices (partitions) set by default for an install may not be sufficient in the long run.
