Hi Partha,

Is the free space is shown in the Fomat command.,

If so you can create a partition from the format command and create a FS.

If the 10 GB space is not defined in the Solaris Partition and if it is not shown in the Format., Then you cant able to use the free spacw... Unless you are using a volume manager SW..

You've left out a few details. Is this Solaris x86? Do you mean your Solaris partition is 20G, or that one slice (visible in format) is 20G?

You might be able to enlarge the partition to get the remaining space, but I don't know how you'd get the VTOC label inside to see the extra space.

You can only have one Solaris partition on the disk, so adding a second won't help.

I am having this exact same problem on a U20 (Solaris 10 11/06). I built it with some extra sapce for Solaris zones and I want to add some more partitions. In Solaris on Sparc this no problem. But how do you perform a partition on the IDE disk?Did anyone give you an answer?
