repartitioning
Hi. I am working on a Sunblade with Solaris 8 installed. 2 hard disks, not mirrored or striped. The person who set it up originally had not given /usr it's own partition. The second disk is one large partition with a directory mounted on it. We are running Apache on this machine to work with Blast databases. The www files are all under /usr. Problem is that root is full now with all these www and db files, so I would like to repartition disk2 to make room for a /usr mount. However, the directory currently mounted on disk2 has files in it also. I would like to be able to repartition disk2 without disturbing these files. Help please!
