mkfs is not normally used - as stated in the mkfs man page. It also matters if the device already exist and you are trying to make it larger (you can make it smaller but there is no "quick" way to do that).
Another consideration is if this is the root partition you are working with (or swap partition). There are set procedures to expand a root/swap partiton - they have to be followed to insure a viable system. You may want to check out info on sunsolve.sun.com (if you have an account) or

RTM ,
Thank you for responding. The OS I'm using is Solaris 9 which as you probably know comes with disksuite (now known as SVM). Basically I need to know the command lines to make this:
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/md/dsk/d0 998M 98M 840M 11% /
/dev/md/dsk/d3 4.9G 1.1G 3.8G 23% /usr
/proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc
mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab
fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd
/dev/md/dsk/d4 9.9G 319M 9.5G 4% /var
swap 4.8G 24K 4.8G 1% /var/run
swap 4.8G 16K 4.8G 1% /tmp
nfs-fs1,
nfs-fs2:/export/usc/sparc.sunos.5
155G 122G 30G 80% /auto/usc
Look like this(/dev/md/dsk/d40 /oracle being the new filesystem):
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/md/dsk/d0 943M 91M 796M 11% /
/dev/md/dsk/d2 3.9G 1.2G 2.7G 31% /usr
/proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc
mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab
fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd
/dev/md/dsk/d3 4.8G 282M 4.5G 6% /var
swap 2.3G 32K 2.3G 1% /var/run
swap 2.3G 48K 2.3G 1% /tmp
/dev/md/dsk/d40 3.9G 1.5G 2.4G 40% /oracle
With all the various resources i've read(thanks for pointing me to Sun's Disksuite webpages) I'm still a little stumped on what specific commads I need to run to make this happen. Thanks in advance.
