Used g4u (ghost for unix) version 2.3 to ghost the entire disk and everything went smooth (I thought I should point this out for anyone wondering if g4u works with zfs and opensolaris. Well it works). What I need to do now is to expand my opensolaris partition to a larger size. Could not see how to do this with zfs commands. Any hint would be really appreciated.

No ZFS commands are needed. When a partition (slice, actually) is
grown larger by appending, ZFS will see the extra space and use it
when you boot or import.  By appending I mean that the space is
added to the physical end of the slice, not the beginning.
