filesystem partitioning
That makes it easier.
But still go to single user for root and usr. Unless you have some online software that makes it easier.
You may want to see about separating /var from root and /tmp as well. Also, make a /home mount point for all user data and home directories.
These directories tend to fill up unexpectedly and can bring your system to its knees.
Your system should look like this. All with separate mounted Filesystems.
root swap and separate system swap as well.
/
/usr
/var
/tmp
/home
A good rule of thumb is to have root on a separate partition by itself. Also, to have root swap and secondary swap as well.
Of course, these are only suggestions, but good ones...
Is this your personal unix box or for work?

Is there a way to take space from the /opt slice (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5) and then put it in the /var (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1)? In theory, I should be able to ufsdump /opt and /var to another drive. Use disk label to resize those two slices (ex. take 10G from opt and add to /var) and then newfs and dump back... (1 Reply)

remote-filesystems
remote-filesystems(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual remote-filesystems(7) NAME
remote-filesystems - event signalling that remote filesystems have been mounted SYNOPSIS
local-filesystems [ENV]... DESCRIPTION
The remote-filesystems event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all remote filesystems listed in fstab(5). moun- tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other activity. This event is typically used by services that must be started to manage remote filesystems. When it occurs, local filesystems such as /usr may not be mounted. For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient. This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event. EXAMPLE
A service that wishes to be running once remote filesystems are mounted might use: start on remote-filesystems SEE ALSO
