[OpenIndiana-discuss] How to expand the live usb to use all of the space on the device? v2

[Hung Nguyen Gia]

v1 is failed because no one could give a solution.

So I start v2.

As I said here: https://openindiana.org/pipermail/openindiana-discuss/2021-January/023555.html

I only left with fdisk. And my guess was right, it's not work.

The ONLY thing it showed me is a EFI partition with Length is 250, no other partitions to expand, no actual partition that contain the distro's data.

The Solaris fdisk is extremely limited compared to Linux fdisk or even FreeBSD, to be fair!

I don't know your partitioning scheme on your live usb.

Please explain and give me DETAIL answer, not kind of DIY answers I previously received on v1.

If my guess is not wrong, then:

You just have an EFI partition in order to boot.

Then you just dd-ed your iso image into the unallocated space and let your boot loader mount it during boot.

This is the reason why fdisk only shows just one EFI partition and nothing else. Does it true?

I saw no UFS partition, no writable file systems at all to be fair. On Linux, Gparted only display a bunch of black and very small partitions: https://imgur.com/FmcrVMF.png

If there was an UFS file system, Linux could mount it automatically, auto mount is turned on on all Linux nowadays, albeit just read-only for UFS. But, I saw nothing.
