RE: Solaris-Linux Dual boot



hi Ajay,

just wanted to tell you that both disk druid and fdisk are reading the
solaris partition (which is the OS partition and NOT the solaris swap
partition) as Linux SWAP partition. so if i now install linux, since it
reads the solaris OS partition as swap, it would read-write data to it
thus corrupting solaris.
am i correct?

TIA,
Regards,
Puneet

Hi puneet,

yes. linux swap partion will use the solaris swap partion. because one
os is 
working at a time. there could be three os as you are planning.
