Want to expand Solaris 10_x86 root UFS partition - Page 2

b1f30 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-14-2008

OS: Solaris 10_x86.

Problem:

Server needs to be patched, but root "/" is near full.

/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 4.2G 3.9G 284M 94% /

The /exports/home dir has a lot more space, and I'd like to either move root "/" to it, or delete it all together:

/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s7 12G 4.7G 7.1G 40% /export/home

Note: Server *can* have downtime, but I *don't* have another disk in the system I can install onto or partition.

/etc/vfstab:

Code:

# cat /etc/vfstab 
#device         device          mount           FS      fsck    mount   mount
#to mount       to fsck         point           type    pass    at boot options
#
fd      -       /dev/fd fd      -       no      -
/proc   -       /proc   proc    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s1       -       -       swap    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0       /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0      /       ufs     1       no      -
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s7       /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s7      /export/home    ufs     2       yes     -
/devices        -       /devices        devfs   -       no      -
ctfs    -       /system/contract        ctfs    -       no      -
objfs   -       /system/object  objfs   -       no      -
swap    -       /tmp    tmpfs   -       yes     -

Ideas?
