Disk Slice

In Solaris OS we have S0 to S7 slices. Out of which S0 is for the root & S1 is for swap space & S2 is the entire disk. So the remaining S3 to S7 we can create slices of our length and create ufs file system or anything we can do.

8192, but we need to change some conf files for that!

 Whole disk size can be the maximum size of a slice as usually slice 2 will be the whole disk partition in Solaris 10.

in sparc system we can create only 7 slice bt in x86 is same as sparc 8th and 9th slice for boot loader files
