Solaris

hi,
i installed solaris 9 on my v240 server on 36gb disk. here are the ouputs of the df -h command:
# df -h
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 9.6G 3.4G 6.1G 36% /
/proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc
mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab
fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd
swap 2.3G 40K 2.3G 1% /var/run
swap 2.3G 0K 2.3G 0% /tmp
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3 200M 183M 0K 100% /globalfs
#

anyone show me how to expand the /globalfs to 2gb.

thanks so much.

not possible.

if yur using volume manager you can increase your filesystem on the fly but from the looks of it you are using pure block device.

It depends on what your disk partitions look like...
You might be able to use growfs..

Post your format output, showing your partition table.

oh I didn't think of growfs, sure it might work together with SDS,

and yes thats provided you still got 1 free unused partition slice on your existing disk.

thank you. here are output of the format command:

seems from yur disk c1t0d0 you have a lot of unused cyl from 1302 to 17530

I assume your other disk c1t1d0 is the disk which has 2GB unused space that you intend to use to grow /globalfs to 2GB

can you paste the format output of c1t1d0 also just to be sure.


Preparation.
The first part is basically you will need 1 unused partitions of 10mb each on both disks(c1t0 and c1t1) as your metadb.

Then you need to convert existing c1t0d0s3 /globalfs into a metadevice.
Then configure another partition on c1t1d0s? with 2GB and make it into part of the same metadevice also.

Please paste the format output of c1t1d0 partitions just to be sure.

thank you, sparcguy,
following your advice, my file system was increased to 2gb.
it's great.

thank you very much again
