Operating Systems Solaris What is the command to increase filesystem on solaris Post 302073337 by blowtorch on Friday 12th of May 2006 01:19:38 AM

Hi,
The /tmp directory is not a filesystem per se, it is actually the swap space that solaris mounts as /tmp. Check the df -k output. It will show the filesystem for /tmp as swap. This swap is determined when you setup the OS. You can add more swap space if you want using the swap command. Check the man page for details.

To increase the size of a normal filesystem, you can use the growfs command for UFS filesystems, extendfs command on HP systems, it depends on your OS and filesystem that you want to extend.
