Partition Examples - (Sun)

by Jeff Hunter, Sr. Database Administrator

Overview

This document provides several example disk-partitioning examples that can be used for installing Sun Solaris on. Along with each partitioning example, I provide the filesystems mounted on those partitions.

Example #1

/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3             swap
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0     /       ufs
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6     /usr    ufs
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1     /var    ufs
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5     /opt    ufs
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7     /db     ufs
swap                  /tmp    tmpfs
