Full Discussion: Increasing allocated space to a mount - possible?
Operating Systems Solaris Increasing allocated space to a mount - possible? Post 302329519 by Scott on Sunday 28th of June 2009 02:21:45 PM

I just broke my Solaris again and tried the mount thing.

Code:
cd /
$ echo x > x
x: cannot create
$ /sbin/mount -o remount,rw /
echo x > x
(it worked)

(you need to either give the full path or cd /sbin and use ./mount)
