Hi all,
I have a system that I need to reinstall and the disks in the machine were
previously used with full disk zfs partitions. Now I need to restore a
normal VTOC so the installer can install Solaris on the disk, however this
seems to not be possible. A disk format didn't change anything, and various
attempts with fdisk return only the error message "Cannot get disk label
geometry".
Does anyone know how I can restore the disk to a normal partition table?
regards
Markus
What I have now:
partition>
Current partition table (original):
Total disk sectors available: 286722911 + 16384 (reserved sectors)
Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 usr wm 34 136.72GB 286722911
1 unassigned wm 0 0 0
2 unassigned wm 0 0 0
3 unassigned wm 0 0 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 0
8 reserved wm 286722912 8.00MB 286739295
What I want to get back to is something like this:
partition> Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 14087 + 2 (reserved cylinders)
