Hi Antonio,
did you try to recreate this partition e.g. with Gparted?
Maybe is something wrong with this partition.
Can you also post what "prtpart "disk ID" -ldevs" says?

Hi Jan,
I tried out what you say long ago, but zfs fails on pool creation.
This is, when I issue the zpool create trunk /dev/dsk/c9d0p3 the
command fails saying that there's no such file or directory. And the
disk is correct!!
What I think is that /dev/dsk/c9d0p3 is a symbolic name used by
FSWpart, and it's not a valid device name for zpool.
Thanks anyway,
Antonio

Hi all,
First of all let me say that, after a few days using it (and after
several *years* of using Linux daily), I'm delighted with
OpenSolaris 8.11. It's gonna be the OS of my choice.
The fact is that I installed it in a partition of 16Gb in my hard
disk and that I'd like to add another partition to the system (I
have different partitions with Linux and Windows and some others).
So the questions are:
1.- How do I add an existing partition to OpenSolaris? (Should I
change the partition type or something? Shall I "grow" ZFS or shall
I mount the extra partition somewhere else?)
yes. You can create a new zpool from your free/spare partition.
I had the same problem. I wanted to use Linux partition as a mirror.
So here is how to:
Follow this blog -
http://blogs.sun.com/pradhap/entry/mount_ntfs_ext2_ext3_in
* install FSWpart and FSWfsmisc
* run prtpart (find out your disk ID)
* figure out partitions ID: prtpart "disk ID" -ldevs
* create zpool from linux partition e.g. zpool create trunk
/dev/dsk/c9d0p3
* check it out: zpool list or zpool status
2.- Would you please recommend a good introduction to
Solaris/OpenSolaris? I'm used to Linux and I'd like to get up to
speed with OpenSolaris.
sure, OpenSolaris Bible :)
