Using more than one partition!

Hi everyone!
First of all I'm a newbie to this forum and Solaris. I'm using Solaris 10 u7 on an x86 plattform. I've searched the forum for my topic but I couldn't find anything. So my issue is:
I've installed Solaris 10 u7 on x86 Plattform with a 15 Gb Partition. I've created 4 slices within this partition and there is no space left. This partition must not be larger than 15 Gb because I have to create an image of this partition with dd. Now I need more space on my harddrive (one HDD with almost 40 GB available). My idea was to
1.) Create a new partition with fdisk
2.) Create new slices on this second partition with fmthard
3.) Mount and use this new partition/slices.
This should be done from a BASH-Script at first startup of the PC. Every thing went OK with step 1. I could create the second partition on my harddrive. But the mess starts with step number 2. How can I create new slices on this second partition? I look around the internet and found out that the devicesfiles c0d0s0 up to c0d0s15 are all for the first partition. So please tell me how to access the second partition.
Please feel free to ask about more informations if you need to.
Thanks in advance to all you guys.
Your sincerely
Florian W.

Hi
You are limited i what you can do.
Try looking at this:

Note that if you ever do a fresh reinstall, then ZFS gives you more flexibility (I assume that you are using UFS).

    how to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

    Only for the very brave......
    Open up the Time Capsule (voids the warranty)
    Pull the hard drive
    Place the hard drive in a separate enclosure
    Connect the enclosure directly to your Mac
    Use Disk Utility to partition the hard drive
    Reinstall the hard drive back in the Time Capsule
    For the rest of us.....
    The next best thing might be to set up one or more disk images on the Time Capsule, which will allow you reserve a given amount of space for each disk image.
    Open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Click on the New Image tab
    Navigate to the Time Capsule
    Set up the disk image by naming it and specifying how much space you want to reserve

  • Why does Boot Camp Assistant already think I have more than one partition on my hard drive?

    Greetings...
    I'm surprised I've found no remedy for this problem in my searches so far. My symptom is that when I run the Boot Camp Assistant app, I get the following error message:
    "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition." The instructions that are provided along with the error message are: "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    When I try to follow the instructions, I see that Disk Utility shows my drive as having a single partition. Nevertheless, I've backed up my Macintosh HD volume, re-artitioned the drive into a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume (once using the Snow Leopard Installation disk and once using Drive Genius 3), and restored my Macintosh HD volume. After all that, I still get the same error message. I even defragged my hard drive, which seems to have helped some users I've read about, but it hasn't helped me.
    Something worth noting is that I recently upgraded to a bigger internal hard drive, and before doing so, I deleted the Boot Camp volume. I innocently thought I'd just do a fresh install sometime after replacing the hard drive, but hindsight tells me that I might have fallen victim to my own ignorance.
    Is there a value stored in a register somewhere that's telling my OS that I have more than one partition when I really don't? Can someone out there help me do battle against my ignorance?
    I'd be grateful for any help that can be sent my way...

    I used DG3 to initialize the HD, which essentially erases the disk if I understand correctly. I haven't used Superduper before, so perhaps that's worth looking into.
    I did mentioned the use of DG3 to ensure that I had a single disk partition. I guess the restore from a clone or Time Machine was implied...
    ;o)
    Thanks for putting some effort into helping me. I'll look at Superduper and let you know if that gets me anywhere...

    Your welcome and good luck finding the solution. BTW as a newbie you benefit from:
    Switch 101 & Mac 101.
    Also you may want to reassess to see if you really need Windows on your computer. Remember if you install it you have all the issues every Windows users has to deal with. When I switched almost 4  years ago I installed Windows too but now I only turn it on to see if it still works. Of course your situation is different you may have proprietary software only designed for Windows and have to have it installed.

  • Can I use more than one Apple ID on one device

    I have seen some answers to this type of question before but not that since the ios 6 so will ask again. My household shares an Apple ID and it has worked great as we have added devices and purchased apps.  My problem now is this, we have hit a point where I have work things on my iPad and iPhone that I really don't need to be shared with the whole family but it isn't a major deal or security risk. I don't want to give up the advantages of having the household ID.  Is there an easy way to have another ID on my iPad and switch between them without having major complications?  I am for the most part a techie so not afraid of these kind of things but I can't afford to lose everything right now and take the time to set it all back up so getting advice here.  Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    You can use more than one apple id, but keep in mind that when apps need updating that you'll will need to sign in with correct credentials to update them.
    Share an apple id for the itunes and app stores, but keep your own for icloud, facetime and messages.

  • Can we use more than one Help Provider class in a same project in ADF11g

    Hi All,
    There are two help providers i want to use .They are "ResourceBundleHelpProvider","OHW Help Provider"
    In adf-settings.xml file
    <help-provider>
    <help-provider-class>oracle.adf.view.rich.help.ResourceBundleHelpProvider</help-provider-class>
    <property>
    <property-name>baseName</property-name>
    <value>com.symmetry.dashboard.panels.Help</value>
    </property>
    </help-provider>
    if try to register both help providers confliction occurs. Is it possible to register and use more than one help provider.?
    Thanks in advance.:)

    Thanks Frank,
    In adf-settings.xml file
    <help-provider>
    <help-provider-class>oracle.adf.view.rich.help.ResourceBundleHelpProvider</help-provider-class>
    <property>
    <property-name>baseName</property-name>
    <value>com.symmetry.dashboard.panels.Help</value>
    </property>
    </help-provider>
    <help-provider prefix="RB_">
    <help-provider-class>oracle.help.web.rich.helpProvider.OHWHelpProvider</help-provider-class>
    <property>
    <property-name>ohwConfigFileURL</property-name>
    <value>/myHelpset/config.xml</value>

    <value>http://127.0.0.1:7101/Dashboard_workflow/myHelpset/%3c/value>
    </property>
    </help-provider>
    I differentiated the help providers with the "prefix" attribute in the <help-provider> tag. So now confliction is not occuring between those.
    I used this prefix in the "helpTopicId" property of the adf components like "input text box" . I got the result. :)

  • Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Yes, but you have to logout of one, and login to the other.
    If it is an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and you buy apps on different accounts, when it comes time to update an app, you have to specify the password for the account used to acquirer the app. You change an iOS account via Settings -> Store -> Apple ID (tap on it), and start by logging out and then you can enter the other Id
    So it is possible, but it can also be a pain.

  • Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    That depends what you mean. If you mean can you purchase from more than one iTunes account on the Apple TV, then the answer is no. If you mean can you stream from more than one iTunes library, which use different accounts, then the answer is yes, so long as they both use the same ID and password for homesharing.

    Create a concatenated disk set
    Increase storage space with a concatenated RAID set (also called “Just a Bunch of Disks” or JBOD). If you need one large disk, but you have only several smaller disks, you can create a concatenated disk set to use several small disks as one large disk.
    Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
    Select one of the disks that you want in the set, and then click RAID.
    Click Add (+), and type a name for the RAID set.
    Choose a format from the Format pop-up menu. Usually you’ll choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.
    Choose Concatenated Disk Set from the RAID Type pop-up menu.
    Drag the disks you want to add to the set to the list on the right.
    Click Create.
    Exerpt from:
    Disk Utility 12.x: Create a RAID set - Apple - Support
    Note that the biggest CON to concatenated RAID configurations is vulnerability to volume failure. If either disk fails, the whole volume fails. If you choose this option, I would highly recommend backing up your music to a cloud service. There are very cheap per GB/storage, and some of the most reputable actually offer unlimited storage:

  • Can I use more than one transition when creating a slideshow in IDVD

    I want to use more than one transition in IDVD when creating a slideshow, is this possible?

    Not so. Under Windows select Photos.
    That will show the Media Browser in the lower right hand corner of iMovie.
    Use the File ➙ New Project to create a new project.  Select the photos from iPhoto you want to create a movie from and drag into the new project area.
    From there add your transitions, music, etc.
