You can't use another Solaris partition but you could use a different
partition ID:
Total disk size is 9729 cylinders
Cylinder size is 16065 (512 byte) blocks
Cylinders
Partition Status Type Start End Length %
========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== ===
1 IFS: NTFS 0 1043 1044 11
2 Linux native 1044 2348 1305 13
3 Active Solaris2 2349 4959 2611 27
4 Other OS 4960 9728 4769 49
SELECT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. Create a partition
2. Specify the active partition
3. Delete a partition
4. Change between Solaris and Solaris2 Partition IDs
5. Exit (update disk configuration and exit)
6. Cancel (exit without updating disk configuration)
Notice partition 4 is "Other OS" which is where I have my zfs pool:
helios(2):> zpool status
pool: lpool
state: ONLINE
status: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format. The pool
can
still be used, but some features are unavailable.
action: Upgrade the pool using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done, the
pool will no longer be accessible on older software versions.
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
lpool ONLINE 0 0 0
c0d0p4 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
So to create the pool in my case would be: zpool create lpool c0d0p4
