Full Discussion: how to increase size of the root partition
Operating Systems Solaris how to increase size of the root partition Post 302157882 by RTM on Sunday 13th of January 2008 10:18:08 AM

First, what are all your mount points? If you have /var under /, instead of having /var as a separate filesystem, then your safest course would be to make /var separate from the root filesystem (assuming you have extra space available).

Post the output of df -k command and the OS/Version from the server OR
you could look at the different threads already posted and pick one that will work for you - example: increasing ufs file system size solaris

SYNOPSIS

       repquota [-v] filesystem...

       repquota -a [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       repquota  prints a summary of the disk usage and quotas for the specified ufs file systems. The current number of files and amount of space
       (in kilobytes) is printed for each user along with any quotas created with edquota(1M).

       The filesystem must have the file  quotas in its root directory.

       Only the super-user may view quotas which are not their own.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -a	Report on all mounted ufs file systems that have rq in the  mntopts field of the /etc/vfstab file.

       -v	Report quotas for all users, even those who do not consume resources.

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of repquota when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
