Resizing a file system
I believe that I know what your problem is. I believe that your formatting is not the issue, PROVIDED THAT YOU HAVE NOT OVERLAPPED CYLINDERS:-) What you either omitted to say or what you were not instructed to do is to edit /etc/vfstab


Once you have formatted and labelled the disk, do the following:

1. Take note of the logical device name (e.g. c0t0d0s5)
Note: logical device name will henceforth be called "logdev"

2. Run "newfs -v /dev/dsk/<logdev>"

3. Run "fsck -y /dev/rdsk/<logdev>"

4. Verify that the mount point (/opt) already exists and, if not, make it.

5. Now, edit /etc/vfstab as follows:
/dev/dsk/<logdev> /dev/rdsk/<logdev /opt ufs 3 yes -

e.g. /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s5 /opt ufs 3 yes -
Note: Separate each file entry with a tab and NOT a space.

6. mount /opt

7. Run "df -k" and verify that your file system has been mounted with the appropriate space allocated.

8. Reboot

Well, I hope that this helps you. Take care.

installgrub

installgrub(1M)                                                                                                                    installgrub(1M)

NAME

       installgrub - install GRUB in a disk partition or a floppy

SYNOPSIS

       /sbin/installgrub [-fm] stage1 stage2 raw-device

       The installgrub command is an -only program. GRUB stands for GRand Unified Bootloader.

       installgrub  installs  GRUB  stage  1  and  stage  2  files on the boot area of a disk partition. If you specify the -m option, installgrub
       installs the stage 1 file on the master boot sector of the disk.

       The installgrub command accepts the following options:

       -f

           Suppresses interaction when overwriting the master boot sector.

       -m

           Installs GRUB stage1 on the master boot sector interactively.

       The installgrub command accepts the following operands:

       stage1

           The name of the GRUB stage 1 file.

       stage2

           The name of the GRUB stage 2 file.

       raw-device

           The name of the device onto which GRUB code is to be installed. It must be a character device that is readable and writable.  For  disk
           devices,  specify  the  slice  where  the  GRUB  menu  file  is  located.  (For Solaris it is the root slice.) For a floppy disk, it is
           /dev/rdiskette.

       Example 1: Installing GRUB on a Hard Disk Slice

       The following command installs GRUB on a system where the root slice is c0d0s0:

       example# /sbin/installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 
                /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0

       Example 2: Installing GRUB on a Floppy

       The following command installs GRUB on a formatted floppy:

       example# mount -F pcfs /dev/diskette /mnt
       # mkdir -p /mnt/boot/grub
       # cp /boot/grub/* /mnt/boot/grub
       # umount /mnt
       # cd /boot/grub
       # /sbin/installgrub stage1 stage2 /dev/rdiskette

       /boot/grub

           Directory where GRUB files reside.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       boot(1M), fdisk(1M), fmthard(1M), kernel(1M), attributes(5)

       Installing GRUB on the master boot sector (-m option) overrides any boot manager currently installed on the machine. The system will always
       boot the GRUB in the Solaris partition regardless of which fdisk partition is active.

                                                                    24 May 2005                                                    installgrub(1M)
