New Solaris 10 install, negative free space

I just installed Solaris 10 from a Sun DVD over an old linux install. The install process created two UFS partitions with 0 unallocated space (I did everything the default), and everything seemed fine. The system boots correctly, and the filesystems both seem accessible.
However, in the Solaris Management Console, if I go to Storage->Disks it takes a long time to load, and then it says I have 1 disk with -1.06GB free. When I click on it, it says it doesn't see a Solaris Fdisk partition. What's wrong?
I installed it on a Thinkpad R40.

It looks like the filesystems themselves have free space, but the Solaris Management Console doesn't seem to think it has a Solaris Fdisk partition and wants to delete the whole disk.
I don't even know how to really look at the partition table because I'm not familiar with Solaris's device naming scheme. There's no c0d0 device to run fdisk on.
The only time I see information about the partition table at all is in the Solaris Management Console, where it tells me that there is negative free space.

  • Solaris volume manager ; finding free space

    Hello
    Is there a way to find out the space available in a metadevice for creating new soft partions?
    I am looking for the equivalent of the following vxvm commands
    vxdg free
    vxassist maxsize
    Thanks in advance

    If it is indeed showing as free space have you tried just extending your existing volume instead of making a new one?
    You can right click your existing volume in disk manager and say extend partition and just next through the wizard. It should auto set all the values to consume is all the space.
    Option 2 is to use the command line utility called diskpart. Go to start, type cmd. After the command prompt is open you will type diskpart.
    First list the disks by typing "list disk" then select the disk you wish to work with. Example "select disk 1".
    Then list the volumes, similar to disk you do "list volume". You then select the desired volume you want to extend. Select the 58.8 GB volume similar to selecting the disk. After the volume is selected you will type "extend" and
    it will grow the volume into the free space.

  • New Nano Shows only 900MB free space...Why?  Where is the other 100?

    My brand new nano show that there is only 900MB free for music, not the 1GB. Why? It is only holding 181 songs, nowhere near the 240. Any ideas?
    Nano 1GB   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    only 900MB free for music, not the 1GB.
    The apple knowledge base document shows why you lose around 100mb to 200mb on every ipod
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60955
    In iPod's About menu, the hard disk size is reported as slightly less than the technical specifications for the iPod. The same is true if you connect iPod to your computer in disk mode look at the info or properties window for the disk.
    Why the difference? Most hard disk manufacturers measure disk size this way: 1 MB = 1 million bytes (1000 * 1000). A 4 GB disk, therefore, is one that holds 4 billion bytes. Computers, including Windows computers, Macintosh computers and iPod, measure disk size this way: 1 MB = 1 048 576 bytes (1024 * 1024). The difference in these two calculations is what causes the drive to appear as 3.7 GB on a computer, but actually be a 4 billion byte disk.
    The ipod operating system and games etc will only account for a miniscule amount of the used space.
    This difference wont change how many songs you can get onto your ipod. Bear in mind, the song average advertised on the ipod is based on 4 mins per song, encoded at 128kbps in AAC format.
    It is only holding 181 songs, nowhere near the 240.
    Bear in mind that the song limit advertised is based on 4 minute per song, 1MB per minute, encoded as 128 kbps in AAC format.
    Check the encoding of your songs. To do this, right click one the sorting columns in iTunes tick bit rate, then click this new column to sort the songs by bit rate. Any songs that are encoded at higher than 128 kbps will be causing excess space to be used for storage. To change the bit rate of these songs you can convert them to AAC format (sound quality will be lost). Or you can reimport them from CD/Computer once you have changed the import settings as detailled below, but that could be time consuming.
    To convert go to the edit menu, select preferences, click the advanced tab, and select importing.For best song capacity on the iPod, make sure that the encoder is set to "Import using AAC encoder", and "High quality 128 kbps". Hit OK. Then collect together all the high encoded songs and select them all (click the top one and hold shift, then click the bottom one). Right click the highlighted area and go to "Convert selection to AAC". This could take a while if there are many songs.
    Once complete, go to the Edit menu, and select "Show duplicate songs". Delete all the "old" songs, recognisable by their bitrate, format or size. Again, to show these, right click a sorting column, and tick the respective ones.
    Once this is done, update the iPod.
    If your songs are all changed into 128kbps AAC and are mostly all around 4 mins long, then you should get very close to the song limit advertised

  • Ssh issues on a new solaris 10 install...

    Hello guys,
    I am having an issue starting SSH on a newly installed solaris 10 box.
    I attempted to run
    svcadm enable network/ssh
    and i was still offline. I think there are some autofs dependancies causing the issue because I looked through some forums before and was able to make it work once. after the restart I could no longer make it work. So I reinstalled...
    Same issue. both times I did a default install with the OEM packge and have tried two totally separate downloads and media.
    when I got it to work last time I think I ended up going down all the dependancies lists and turned them all on. Is there an easier way?
    Here is my SVC printouts...
    # svcadm enable /network/ssh
    # svcs -l ssh
    fmri svc:/network/ssh:default
    name SSH server

    any ideas on what I should do next?
    Thanks

    Time to check the logfile(s). First that of the SMF entry itself (/var/svc/log/) and next the syslog or messages logfile (/var/log or /var/adm), only then will you get a good idea of whats going on.

  • OSX Partitioning & Free Space

    1. If I partition a new drive and have some space left over that I leave as "free space", how can I use that free space in the future if I wanted to use it say as an iPhoto partition?
    2. Is it also free to use for a Windows partition in the future, if wanted?
    3. If #1 and #2 are possible, how would I go about setting up that Free Space as a another/new partition WITHOUT disturbing the data already on that same drive.

    If I partition a new drive and have some space left over that I leave as "free space", how can I use that free space in the future if I wanted to use it say as an iPhoto partition?
    Use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to create a new partition. Ensure the free space is at the end of the drive.
    Is it also free to use for a Windows partition in the future, if wanted?
    Yes.
    If #1 and #2 are possible, how would I go about setting up that Free Space as a another/new partition WITHOUT disturbing the data already on that same drive.

  • BootCamp cannot create new partition on drive free space.

    Hi Folks,
    I am hoping for some advice here. I am running OS X (10.5.6) and wish to use Boot Camp to created a partition to install Windows XP SP2 for some gaming. My machine is a late 2007 MBP 2.4GHz C2D, 4GB RAM, 340GB WD transplanted hard drive.
    I have about 180GB of free space for a new partition to be created for the XP install.
    When I fire up the Boot Camp Assistant tool, I am immediately informed of the following:
    "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition."
    "Back up the disk and use the Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using the Boot Camp Assistant again."
    + I have never had more than one partition on this drive.
    + I installed the drive new with no partition and used a tool named 'Carbon Copy Cloner' to transfer data from the original drive onto this drive, the machine booted right away and I have been using it without issue ever since.
    + I have run Disk Utility to 'Verify Disk', 'Verify Disk Permissions' and 'Repair Disk Permissions' all ran with no problems and completed successfully.
    My question is, how can I make a usable backup copy of the drive to restore back to the drive after performing the re-format?
    Can I use the Carbon Copy Cloner software for this? I want to make sure that the resulting internal drive is bootable, etc.
    I have been running Time Machine as well and have a disk full of backups from that app, but I have no idea how to use it to restore the drive to it's current state after re-partition and format.
    Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

    So today I used the free "trial" version of SuperDuper to create a bootable clone of my primary internal drive.
    It was about 100GB and took a long time to copy onto USB 2.0 external SATA drive, but it worked.
    SuperDuper provided the option to make the copy the boot device as well. After reboot, I used OS X Disk Utility to erase primary drive.
    I then performed the operation in reverse, copying the entire contents back to the original location.
    After a reboot, I ran the Boot Camp Utility and received the same aggravating message which I received before.
    How can I be sure that I am actually re-formatting the target drive in order to consolidate free space? Is this my issue? When I performed the erase operation, I skipped the "zero out free space" step. Am I using the correct utility to prepare the target drive?
    Once again, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    John

  • I am trying to install Boot Camp but it says I haven't got enough free space to make a partition, however in disk utility it says I have 27GB free!

    I am trying to install Boot Camp but it says I haven't got enough free space on my start up disk - that I need at least 10GB free space - however in disk utility it says I have 27GB free!

    if your SSD is only 60 GBs, then you don't have space on which to install Windows. That 27 GBs is space you need to have for adding files you create, music you download, added applications, pictures, etc. You need to maintain at least 10 GBs as free space for OS X, plus you need space for files OS X will create and add to over time.
    Your 60 GB SSD is just a minimum usable size for OS X. There isn't sufficient space to also support Windows which requires close to 25 GBs of the 27 GBs you still have free. Sorry, but that just doesn't really work well.
