==== disk management ==== Slices are defined by an offset & a size, expressed in whole cylinders. On SPARC systems the offset is the distance from cylinder 0. On x86/x64 systems slice offsets are specified from 1st cylinder of Solaris fdisk partition <insert pic & text details showing example> On x86/x64 systems the format utility shows 1st cylinder of Solaris fdisk partition as cylinder 0 IDE/SATA disks in x86/x64 systems slice 8 occupies cylinder 0 & slice 9 cylinder 1 & 2. Slice 8 & 9 are reserved so format utility does not allow changes to slice 8 & 9. First available cylinder for additional slice definitions is cylinder 3. Slice 2 starts at cylinder 0 & ends on last available cylinder of Solaris fdisk partition. <insert pic of x86/x64 slice example>
