[OpenIndiana-discuss] Partitions for co-exist NAS drive

[Michelle]

Actually, I was wrong. It was the 2021.04 text install USB that I was
using. I was using the text install because it's just a file server. I
don't need X.

Well, the situation I find myself in is as follows...

A pair of 6tb reds, one of which has data on that I can't get off until
one of my 8tb has come back from RMA....

So I thought I'd use the other 6tb to get this sorted, and by the time
the other 6tb is ready to be put in, I would be able to install it and
add it in.

Going via the GUI installer, I'm wondering whether I'll be able to do
that.

This is why I was following your script, but when it came to step 4,
the solaris partition was only 2tb max. However, I've just noted that I
wasn't using the -e at the end of the format command, so after I've
made dinner I'll read up on that switch in the hope that this is what
will enable me to create the larger Solaris partition.

Michelle.
