Question Cannot label disk when partitions are in use as described

Hello,
In my Solaris system, I want to resize my mounted home directory slice.

1.I unmount the slice, #umount /export/home
2.Resize the directory #format>partition>[resize operation9]
3.#format>label
4.#format>Cannot label disk when partitions are in use as described.

So, How can label ?

Thanks

You worry me with a question like this. The answer is boot the installation cd into single user mode and then you can reformat your primary disk to your heart's content. Do have full backups that you trust. An error can easily result in the loss of all data on the disk. It is unlikely (but possible) that there is unused free space positioned correctly for something like this to work.

Pls don't worry.

I don't have to do it. This is a test work. I can see that Solaris unable to do it easly.

Actually Solaris worried me.
