Full Discussion: Resize or delete directory
Operating Systems Solaris Resize or delete directory Post 302942122 by rbatte1 on Friday 24th of April 2015 11:47:28 AM

Sorry, but I have a few questions first:-
  • Do you need the data that they currently contain or can it be removed?
  • Can any data that you need to keep be moved elsewhere for a short period?
  • What commands do you already know of for managing logical volumes/filesystems?


Regards,
Robin
