I am setting up a design tools server on a machine running Solaris9.

I want to setup a partition that contains a number of design tools.
If I go to / and type mkdir "tools" then I am on the root partition.

How do I get "/tools" to be on a separate partition?

(I also have the same problem in that I want to create /export on the server for home dirs etc but again do not want this on the root partition.)

Any ideas or am I doing something foolish?

Thanks,

Stephen.
