How to extend a filesystem??

OK I'm sure this question has been posed far too many times.

I have solaris 10 x86 with NO Veritas or Disksuite filesystems. Below is the output of df -k

Code:
# df -k
Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on

I want to reallocate 200Gb from /ora_backup to /ora19 ..... or simply grow /ora19 by 200Gb.
also the format command shows no disks found!

Thanks for any help

jackie.

format command shows no disks??? you're in a zone? then of course you wont. If you're not, then at least you need to be a superuser "root"
