creating new filesystem
Code:
 
# df -h
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c1d0s0      4.5G   4.3G   129M    98%    /
/devices                 0K     0K     0K     0%    /devices
ctfs                       0K     0K     0K     0%    /system/contract
proc                      0K     0K     0K     0%    /proc
mnttab                   0K     0K     0K     0%    /etc/mnttab
swap                     1.0G   832K   1.0G     1%    /etc/svc/volatile
objfs                      0K     0K     0K     0%    /system/object
/usr/lib/libc/libc_hwcap1.so.1
                       4.5G   4.3G   129M    98%    /lib/libc.so.1
fd                       0K     0K     0K     0%    /dev/fd
swap                   1.0G    76K   1.0G     1%    /tmp
swap                   1.0G    24K   1.0G     1%    /var/run
/dev/dsk/c1d0s7        235G   916M   232G     1%    /export/home

I have the above as my filesystem and their respective capacity. i need to shrink /dev/dsk/c1d0s7 so taht i can create another filesystem to install oracle. i learnt that a ufs filesystem is unshrinkable.

How do i know if i am uing a ufs filesystem or that can anyone advise otherwise knowing that oracle installtion will take at least 4GB space.

Thanks

LEARN ABOUT OPENSOLARIS

dev

dev(7FS)							   File Systems 							  dev(7FS)

NAME

       dev - Device name file system

DESCRIPTION

       The  dev  filesystem  manages  the  name  spaces  of devices under the Solaris operating environment. The global zone's instance of the dev
       filesystem is mounted during boot on /dev.

       A subdirectory under /dev may have unique operational semantics. Most of the common device names under /dev are	created  automatically	by
       devfsadm(1M).   Others,	such  as  /dev/pts,  are dynamic and reflect the operational state of the system. You can manually generate device
       names for newly attached hardware by invoking devfsadm(1M) or implicitly, by indirectly causing	a  lookup  or  readdir	operation  in  the
       filesystem to occur.  For example, you can discover a disk that was attached when the system was powered down (and generate a name for that
       device) by invoking format(1M)).

FILES

       /dev    Mount point for the /dev filesystem in the global zone.

SEE ALSO

       devfsadm(1M), format(1M), devfs(7FS)

NOTES

       The global /dev instance cannot be unmounted.
