Solaris 10 LU problem

I have a problem with export/home after doing the upgrade.

The df -k shows /export and /export/home both being mounted on the same slice. Yes, both are in the vfstab file too. When I reformatted the disk for the upgrade, I added 10gb to the /export partition so that is the one I want to end up using.

When I did the lucreate command, I used /export instead of /export/home.

I tried commenting them out and rebooting, but that didn't work.
When I commented out the /export/home, users do not have a home directory.
When I commented out just export, I could not log in and had to use the console.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

We don't know what you want! We want /export or /export/home at the end of the day
?

I wasn't sure what I wanted.Smilie
I just looked and now noticed that there isn't anything in /home.
All user directories are currently in /export/home.
So, I'm thinking I need to tar up my /export/home directories, comment out the /export/home entry in the vfstab file, boot into single user mode, and untar the home dirs into /home and reboot.

Think that will work?

Main objective is to use the new bigger partition which is /export. The automounter should mount home on it automatically, I hopeSmilie

Thanks for the response

tar and extract as what you've mentioned should work.
