growfs may be the solution. I tried but failed. Here is what I got:

# growfs -M /var /dev/md/rdsk/d6
/dev/md/rdsk/d6: Unable to find Media type. Proceeding with system determined parameters.
failed to disable logging.

I think the "unable to find Media type" is not a problem. I saw someone running growfs successfully with this error. The problam is "failed to disable logging". The OS is still writing to /var, that makes growfs unable to freeze /var in order to expand space. I stopped syslogd but still got "failed to disable logging".

Any idea? Thank you!
