Installation with windows

I usually only create two slices, one with the whole Solaris (s0) as big as it can be and one as swap (s1) with a size of 1 giga or more if I have more RAM than that.
s0 /
s1 tmpfs
s2 overlap (never touch that one)

If you want to separate the user directories from the system, you can also create another slice (say s7 for example) for /export/home.

The most commonly used is ufs.

The most expected is zfs:
