A new fdisk menu option enables you to switch back and forth between the new and old identifier. The fdisk identifier can be changed even when the file system that is contained in the partition is mounted.
Two type values in the fdisk menu reflect the old and new identifiers as follows:
Solaris identifies 0x82
Solaris2 identifies 0xbf
Become superuser.
Display the current fdisk identifier.
For example:
Total disk size is 39890 cylinders Cylinder size is 4032 (512 byte) blocks Cylinders Partition Status Type Start End Length % ========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== === 1 Active x86 Boot 1 6 6 0 2 Solaris2 7 39889 39883 100 |
Select option 4 from the fdisk menu to change the fdisk partition identifier back to 0x82.
