Some say "yes" and some say "no". But I agree that it is better to stick
to the traditional as most system admins expect the S2 is the whole disk
and is the "overlay" in Solaris.
Furthermore, a lot responded that some application will fail if s2 is
not the whole disk.
Sun also recommends s2 as the whole disk.

Regards
Alan
