Knoppix V4 and Qtparted and Solaris partition Option

zillah · Jan 6, 2006, 11:32 AM

I was trying to create partition of type Solaris by using GUI Qtparted,,,but I could not find the option for Solaris partition,,,,the options that I found were this:

1- ext3
2- ext2
3- fat32
4- jfs
5- linux-swap
6- ntfs
7- xfs

Does that mean I can not create Solaris partition by using Qtpated ? Yes I know I can create the same partition (Solaris ) by using cfdisk utility that comes with Knoppix CD.

I was looking to use GUI utility like qtparted,,,,is there any other GUI utility similar to qtparted and it does come with knoppix CD ?

I think it's because libparted doesn't support Solaris filesystem.

I created the Solaris partition by using cfdisk and by assigning tag or lablel (partition ID) which is BF

Which uyility form Knoppix CD , I have to use to format that partition ?

i used to use Ranish partitioning software to mark the partition and also set active to this partition, and then boot the computer with the Solaris DVD or CD1 to install the operating system. the Solaris filesystem's will be created during the installation.
