SUMMARY: Rediscover disk size and geometry.

that they weren't in the office.
Thanks especially to Dan Astoorian who pointed me at the 'type' option in
'format'.
This was basically exactly what I was after - it allowed me to redetect the
layout of the disk.
The caveat on doing this is that solaris will apply a default partition
table, which you'll then have to replace with the 'original'
for the slices you want to preserve.
This, for obvious reasons, cannot be done on a 'live' filesystem, although
a umount and remount seems to suffice.
Then it's (hopefully) just a simple matter of running growfs in order to
extend the partition to the full size of the disk.
Thanks all,
Ed Rolison
