Many quick replies. Much thanks to Paul Fiengo, James Scott, Sammy, Chirs Barnard, Bob Payne, Michael Horton, Chris Dupre, etc... The concensus is as long as I don't overlap cylinders, I'll be okay. And don't forget to label the disk before quitting format. Thanks again. Daryl Daryl A Mitchell/User/O-I To 07/21/2005 09:17 sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org AM cc Subject Carving up a slice on existing production disk Don't laugh now, I've never done this before. I have a big 72GB drive in my Sun 280R. Can I format->partition slice 7 without affecting the currently in use partition slices? I need about 30GB on slice 7. So I'll just start at cylinder 4951-<whatever>. Will that mess up any of the other slices or destroy data? Thanks in advance.
