[ug-bosug] What is the /second_root slice? How do i get rid of it?

[Saurabh Vyas]

Hi Manish,

The second root slice what you see is present for the *live upgrade*.
As in new Solaris installer (caiman) you cannot specify the slices, it 
creates 15Gb of root slice & a second root slice (the rest space is left 
for /export/home)
To reclaim it you need to blow up your /second_root slice and then you 
can do growfs on /export/home.

HTH,
