Hello,
I need advice how to import unformatted partition. I split my 150GB disk
into 3 partitions:
1. 50GB windows
2. 50GB Opensolaris
3. 50GB unformatted
I would like to import 3. partition as a another pool but I can''t see
this partition.
sh-3.2# format -e
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c7t0d0 <drive type unknown>
/pci at 0,0/pci104d,81e6 at 1d,7/storage at 4/disk at 0,0
1. c9d0 <DEFAULT cyl 7830 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63>
/pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 1f,2/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0
Specify disk (enter its number): ^[[^C
I guess that 0. is wind partition and 1. is Opensolaris
sh-3.2# zpool list
NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT
rpool 59.5G 3.82G 55.7G 6% ONLINE -
sh-3.2# zpool import
sh-3.2#
How can I find and import left partition?
Thanks for help.
Regards,
Jan Hlodan

Try "zpool status", which will show you that rpool is on something like c9d0s0. Then go into format again, pick 1 (in my example), type "fdisk" to look at the DOS-style partition table and verify that the partitioning of the disk matches what you thought it was. Then you can create a new zpool with something like "zpool create data c9t0p3". Will
Hello,
thanks for the answer.
The partition table shows that Wind and OS run on:
1. c9d0 <DEFAULT cyl 7830 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63>
/pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 1f,2/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0
Partition Status Type Start End Length %
========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== == 1
IFS: NTFS 0 5098 5099 26
2 Active Solaris2 5099 12931 7833 40
The disk 0. c7t0d0 doesn''t contain any disk type:
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c7t0d0 <drive type unknown>
/pci at 0,0/pci104d,81e6 at 1d,7/storage at 4/disk at 0,0

/pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 1f,2/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0
Specify disk (enter its number): 0
Error occurred with device in usechecking: Bad file number
Error: can''t open disk ''/dev/rdsk/c7t0d0p0''.
AVAILABLE DRIVE TYPES:
0. Auto configure
1. other
Specify disk type (enter its number): 0
Auto configuration via format.dat[no]? y
Auto configure failed
No Solaris fdisk partition found.
If create some file system using the Gparted, my partition table will
look like this:
Cylinders
Partition Status Type Start End Length %
========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== == 1
IFS: NTFS 0 5098 5099 26
2 Active Solaris2 5099 12931 7833 40
3 Solaris xyz xyz
34
but I still don''t know how to import this partition (num. 3)
If I run:
zpool create c9d0
I''ll lost all my data, right?

Hello,
I formated unallocated partition using Gparted and now my table looks:
sh-3.2# format -e
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c9d0 <DEFAULT cyl 7830 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63>
/pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 1f,2/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0
Specify disk (enter its number): 0
selecting c9d0
NO Alt slice
No defect list found
Total disk size is 19457 cylinders
Cylinder size is 16065 (512 byte) blocks
Cylinders
Partition Status Type Start End Length %
========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== == 1
IFS: NTFS 0 5098 5099 26
2 Active Solaris2 5099 12931 7833 40
3 Linux native 12932 19456 6525 34
Can you give me an advice how to choose "3 Linux native partition"?
If I know where is this partition, then I can run: zpool create trunk
c9d0XYZ
right?
Thanks for the answer.
