Full Discussion: Increasing allocated space to a mount - possible?
Operating Systems Solaris Increasing allocated space to a mount - possible? Post 302329488 by Scott on Sunday 28th of June 2009 09:40:16 AM

From this we see that /usr is (probably) created on the root filfesystem. And it's very big.

Code:
# df -k /usr
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2              5524368   4497236    741980  86% /

You should look at this
Code:
du -sk /usr/*

and perhaps move some stuff to /export (which is huge).

i.e.
Code:
cd /usr
mv _something_ /export
ln -s /export/_something_

(it's safer to do this when there are no users on the system, and maybe even from single user mode)

There's also other articles on the Forum about Solaris filesystems:

i.e.

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
