I think you are out of luck unfortunately. UFS filesystems generally can't be grown. I believe your only choice would be to make a full backup, reinstall solaris laying out the filesystems how you want, then restore from your backup.

sry, but that's not true:
see:
Code:

root@jumpy # metainit -f d80 1 1 /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0

you see? disksuite is complicated, but mighty.... if you are dealing with root partitions it's a pit more sophisticated. i am not sure if it will work to make a concat on the root partitions, never tried it, but i think it won't work. depending on how big your /export/home is you could dump it somewhere to, repartion your harddisk and increase the number of blocks for your root partition with the "format" menue, let the rootslice grow with "growfs", make a new fs on /export/home and restore the dump. i could imagine many ways to do it, e.g. you could use your second disk for /export/home, use the solaris feature to use a file for swapping (could be changed on the fly) and make new partitions on the 2nd disk and restore the system configuration...
but to be honest, if you are not used with solaris, it would be the easiest way for you to reinstall the system, sry
also a way to do it, i like your script... but on that, you would need a downtime.... belongs to you
