I have just managed to cleanup the root file system:
Code:
bash-3.00# df -h /
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/md/dsk/d10 9.8G 7.6G 2.2G 78% /
bash-3.00#
I am bit scared to create a new file system... on that LUN, and the reason to create a file system was actually to release some space from the root file system
You might want to run metastat to identify disks belonging to your metadevice.
It is probably a mirror or alike which consist of 2 or more local disks on that machine... from format output 2 x 300 GB drives.
Then read up about Solaris SVM and expand it.
I don't think you need a netapp lun for that, but i cannot know why you need it.
newfs will create filesystem on the new netapp lun noted in the previous posts.
With that you can mount and use it as UFS filesystem, mounted on the location you desire.
Partition any slice but slice 2 starting from 1 sector to last and create filesystem on /dev/rdsk/ctdsX where X is the slice created via format tool and disk labeled.
Above operation has nothing to do with / filesystem.
If you wish to expand the / filesystem you will need to learn the Solaris SVM.
It is different then other volume managers, but one of the most flexible one.
Output required from following commands (and possibly others, my SVM is a bit rusty since zfs is mostly used nowdays... ) might illuminate if you require operations on root filesystem(s) :
Practice on some test enviroment with FC lun you know it is not used (formating, creating slices, filesystems, metadevices etc.) before issuing commands on production systems.
Hi,
I have inherited this AIX 5.3 host. I'm unable to increase the /usr file system. It gives me this error.

Hi All:
I am using an adaptor between a 1TB SATA hard drive and solaris 8 box with 68 pin scsi. I use the format utility to partition the HD which works fine but when I use newfs, I get some errors. I will place them below.
I have blocked and the error message is in red.

Hello, this is my first post.
I have a user who cannot create a file over 2 GB's in size eventhough the FS is large file enabled and I added a special stanza in /etc/security/limits to allow an unlimited file size for this particular user (user1 - see below).

Could somebody give me some idea as to how I... (2 Replies)
