Tools Growing /opt
Hi,

/opt on my disk is almost 90%. I thought of growing it. I followed the below procedure:

1. added a new hard disk
2. formatted the same with ufs
3. created a slice and tried to label it as "opt" with "wm" permissions.

but got stuck at 3 as it is not allowing me to label the slice as "opt". It is asking me "Ready to label disk, continue ?" When i typed "yes" nothing is happening.........Can somebody help me on this? Am i on the right path ?

Thanks.

maybe choose another label name like /opt1.

There is no "/opt" label and even less "/opt1". Anyway, these tags have had no purpose since ages.

Thanks for the replies.

My intension is to grow the /opt filesystem. But I am getting the following error....

Quote:
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 unassigned wm 3 - 2562 5.00GB (2560/0/0) 10485760
1 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
2 backup wu 0 - 4091 7.99GB (4092/0/0) 16760832
3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
5 unassigned wm 2563 - 4091 2.99GB (1529/0/0) 6262784
6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
8 boot wu 0 - 0 2.00MB (1/0/0) 4096
9 alternates wm 1 - 2 4.00MB (2/0/0) 8192

Okay to make this the current partition table[yes]? y
Enter table name (remember quotes): "new"

Ready to label disk, continue? yes

partition> l
Ready to label disk, continue? "opt1"
`opt1' is not expected.
Ready to label disk, continue?

The following example will grow “/test” to the maximum size available on the meta device d100:

$ growfs -M /test /dev/md/rdsk/d100

To see how many sectors will be available on d100 after the grow operation completes, you can run newfs with the “-N” option, and compare that with the current value of df (1m):

$ newfs -N /dev/md/dsk/d100
/dev/md/rdsk/d0: 232331520 sectors in 56944 cylinders of 16 tracks, 255 sectors
113443.1MB in 2191 cyl groups (26 c/g, 51.80MB/g, 6400 i/g)

This will report the number of sectors, cylinders and MBs that would be allocated if a new file system was created on meta device d100. As always, test everything on a non critical system prior to making changes to critical boxen.

@incredible: I don't think the OP is using Solaris Volume Manager.

@EmbeUx: can you clarify exactly what you did with mode details.

Your steps are in the wrong order, "2." (creating a filesystem) should be after "3." (labeling, i.e. partitioning the disk) and there is no point in labeling anything as "opt".

Thank you all for the replies. My purpose didn't solve. May be i'll explain the scenario again.

/opt on my server filled up upto almost 92%. I need to install a software which is directed to this path. So I intended to add another hard disk, format, create partition and grow the size of opt with this partition.

So please suggest if this is possible. if yes, how? if no, then what is the alternative.
Here's what I did till now.
1. Added a new hard disk.
2. created a slice of 3GB. Now I tried labeling this slice which is not happening. though labeling doesnt effect growing file system i tried.

Please help me out.
Thanks.
