Help with Growing FS
Ok so I just installed Solaris 10 on my x86 laptop. But I too the defaults and now all of the FS's are very small. I can't install anything. The drive is a 40GB but only about 11GB is being seen and used. How can I get the OS to see and use the rest of the drive? I was just going to reinstall, but then thought ... In the realworld, won't be able to reinstall.

Need to know how to fix.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
