You can't grow the 30gb partition to take up the free space, since you can't grow the physical devices that belong to a zpool: you can only add storage to a zpool by adding devices. The best thing would be to delete the 30 gb partition (copying any data you want to preserve) and create a new 20

You can install osol in your existing zpool on s6 as described [url=http://blogs.sun.com/bobn/entry/solaris_and_opensolaris_coexistence_in]here[/url]. Otherwise, you can see if the osol installer will do an install on s0, creating a new zpool. I'm pretty sure that installing osol in a UFS file s
