How to merge solaris partition

Answer Posted / pulin

To merge the partitions is easy if they are next to each
other on the
disk: just make the first one big enough to cover both and
set the
second one to all zeros.

If they aren't contiguous you could achieve the same by SVM
(make a
concat volume from both slices).

I suspect that what you may mean is to merge two
filesystems though.
This is harder: you can grow one of them to cover both
slices (after
growing the slice) with growfs, but you need to back up and
restore the
second one.
