Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In Sun Microsystems' Solaris computer operating system, disk partitions are sometimes known as slices. This is a conceptual reference to the slicing of a cake into several pieces. A slice is composed of a contiguous range of blocks on a disk.
