Operating Systems Solaris Increase root partition by moving starting cylinder Post 302505324 by Perderabo on Wednesday 16th of March 2011 05:16:24 PM

The man page for growfs states:
Code:
                                               The following con-
     ditions  prevent  you from expanding file systems: When acct
     is activated and the accounting file is on the  target  dev-
     ice.  When  C2 security is activated and the logging file is
     on the target file system. When there is a local  swap  file
     in the target file system. When the file system is root (/),
     /usr, or swap.

Since you are talking about root, I think you're in trouble right there. But growfs is for ufs filesystems. I assume you have a ufs root? If it's zfs then I will have to defer to someone else. I have never used zfs.
