I installed Solaris 10 x86 in a virtual machine (VMware Workstation). Now I want to add a second, 8 GB, hard drive to the VM. I added the "hardware", and now I'm at the point where I've got the disk formatted and partitioned, or almost. My question is about "slices". I'm using UFS, and I just want to create a filesystem for my own use. So which slice (0-9) should I use for that? I'm guessing probably not 0-2, but would any of the rest be preferable? I intend to use the whole disk for one filesystem.
