Hi,

I am finding a strange problem. I created one large partition
on a 0 slice disk using format utility. When I tried to create multiple
soft partitions on the disk(not on mirror), it allowed me to crete only
first soft partition, gives error for next softpartitions.

Apreciate some guidence.

Regards

1. Prepare the disk for SVM and create 1st partition
metainit d100 -p -e c1t1d0s0 2g

-p -e says to initialize disk only for SVM use
slice 7 will be used for metadb

2. Add soft partitions to the drive above
metainit d9 -p c1t1d0s0 1g
"Run this command on for every new partition you want to create on this
drive"

if I wanted to make a 5 g partition on this drive I would:
metainit d9 -p c1t1d0s0 5g

I could continue until I ran out of scape on the disk
