I don't think he configured any slice by hand. It was zpool what prepared
the whole stuff.
And there is NO overlap here. As it was already told: s2 (NOT p2) means the
whole "drive"/ "partition". Depends on the case.

Everything is right. No need to scare him away.

Gyu

No. Your boot slice #8 is overlapped by s2. It is not
recommended to use s2 for anything.

Configure s0 instead with tag root, and use only the region
above the boot slice (that is, from cylinder 1 upwards).

So what I did what correct, right? I have mounted both partitions and the

I should mind my p's and s's.  Thanks, Andrew; you're right.  I was
thinking of s2, not p2.

After more searching I concluded that the command should be

The logical Node was  /dev/rdsk/c13t0d0p0and format --> partition --> print

I have also used fdisk to delete all partitions and thenparted to create the

# zfs create utank/External  #chown -R user:group /utank/External

Now I can use the partition!

p2 is, by convention, "whole disk" when using old-style partitioning.
If you're using that and you've partitioned the disk, I think you've
trashed your NTFS partition or (worse) you have an overlap.

Are you sure?  What exactly does "format" say about the partition map?



Um...

On x86, p0 is the whole disk, and p1-4 are the 4 primary FDISK partitions.

s0-15 are slices in the Solaris FDISK partition, with s2 by convention 
being the whole Solaris FDISK partition, overlapping all the other 
slices in the Solaris FDISK partition.



On SPARC, there is no FDISK partitioning. s0-7 are slices on the disk, 
and s2 is the whole disk by convention, overlapping all other slices on 
the disk.

This is what fdisk says about the disk:
   Cylinders
  Partition   Status    Type  Start   End   Length    %
  =   ==      =   ===   ==   ===
  1   Active    IFS: NTFS 0  45600    45601 75
  2 Solaris2   45600  60191    14592 24


and this is what the partition item of format says:
partition> p
Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 14590 + 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 - 14589  447.06GB    (14590/0/0) 937553400

[OpenIndiana-discuss] No rootfs module provided

[Gary Mills]

I just put together a system with a ASUS B350M-A system board, an AMD
Ryzen 3 1200 CPU and an ASUS HD 6450 Silent video card.

When I attempt to boot the OI-hipster-gui-20170502 DVD on this system,
I get the boot menu normally, but it's followed by these three lines:

Loading unix...
Loading /platform/186pc/amd64/boot_archive...
Loading /platform/186pc/amd64/boot_archive.hash...
Booting...
No rootfs module provided, aborting

What's missing?  Is it in illumos yet?

The OI-hipster-gui-20160421 DVD gives me the GRUB menu, but hangs part
way through the parade of dots.  I presume this is an example of the
short read problem.

The sol-11_3-live-x86 gives me the GRUB menu, the console messages,
and the GUI.  When I ran the device driver utility, it stopped at CPU.
I presume that's because it doesn't have a CPU driver.

I'm considering my options.

[Just a note hoping to head off any confusion]

I'm sorry to say I made a bit of a mess of it.  It was my first time
using the bug tracker.

It appears I got a bit rambunctious with the copy/paste and managed to
duplicate the information twice on the bug writeup.  The salient
points are readable enough even if needlessly repeated twice.

But, worse I also managed to end up creating 2 identical bug reports.
On separate numbers.

Once I saw what I had done I did not see a way to remove the duplicate
or flag it or whatever, so quit before bungling something else up.

end result identical bug reports #8637 and #8638
