2007-03-25 Thread Tony Singleton
Hello, I'm in a muddle over how solaris slices relate to the regular x86 partitions? Basically my understanding is that a single x86 disk partition gets mapped as a single drive in solaris, and within that partition you can chop it up into normal 8 slices. So what happens if I pull o
