Are you refering to the space on /opt (/dev/dsk/c0d0s3) ?

A few main solutions...

1. make a directory in /opt/home and move some home directories in into that, then make symbolic links from /export/home/xxx to those directories.

2. change peoples home directory to /opt/home/xxxx

3. backup your important data and rebuild your system with the newly gained knowledge on how big you want your slices.

4. like 3 but make the whole drive just a swap and root slice.
