Laying Out a File System Manually

Solaris Web Start lays out file systems for you automatically, and these file system configurations are adequate for most situations.

However, you might lay out file systems manually if you need to install other products not included in your product box. These products must share the same file systems used by the Solaris software (root (/), /usr, and /swap).

If you need to lay out file systems manually, Solaris Web Start provides the tools you need to:

• Select the disks you want

• Select the file systems you want

• Create, rename, move, delete, expand, or shrink file systems

  ---

  Note -

  You cannot change the size of the default swap slice.

  ---

• View a summary of and confirm your choices

Editing file systems requires advanced system administrator's knowledge. Do not alter the layout of file systems unless you have experience.
