Hi, I have Solaris 10 05/08 on V880 and have 12 disks and want to create a large filesystem /u01 which spreads over 4 72G disks. These 4 disks are mirrored. Can someone please advise how can I do this.

You may need to reformat and repartition your hard disk if:

* You have only one volume.

You have to install each operating system on a separate volume of your computer so that each installation can retain its own files and configuration information.
* The boot partition is not formatted with the correct file system:
o If you want to create a multiple-boot system by using MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me, you have to format the system partition by using FAT16 or FAT32 because the operating system cannot start if the system partition is NTFS.
o If you want to create a multiple-boot system by using Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me along with Microsoft Windows XP, you have to format the boot partition by using FAT16 because Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me do not support the NTFS file system.
o If you want to install Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me with Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, you can format the boot partition by using FAT16 because Windows NT 4.0 does not support the FAT32 file system.
o If you want to create a multiple-boot system using Windows 98 or Windows Me with Windows 2000, or Windows XP, you can format the boot partition by using FAT32.

Note If you format a Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP volume with any file system other than NTFS, you will lose all NTFS-specific features. This includes some Windows XP features such as file system security, Encrypting File System (EFS) settings, disk quotas, and Remote Storage. Likewise, Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me do not recognize an NTFS partition and identify it as unknown. Therefore, if you format a Windows 98 or Windows Me partition as FAT, and a Windows XP partition as NTFS, any files on the NTFS partition will not be available or visible if you try to access them while running Windows 98 or Windows Me.
