Hi guys,
need your help on this since i dont know much about solaris.
the problem is i need to increase inodes space on /export/home/
any good and effective suggestion on this?
try to ask some people and they said i have to backup /export/home/ and then format the partition. and dump the data back to /export/home/.
Server is SUN Netra 240 running solaris 10. since the customer didt allow me to ssh remotely from outside. i have to go to the datacentre and troubleshoot it directly. (it will take 2hrs travel time..from my house to the datacentre)

Yes, that the way to do it.
While you do that, take the opportunity to migrate your slice to a zfs pool and /export/home to zfs and then forget about all of these pesky file-system annoyances forever ...
How to increase Inode capacity in Solaris but in root filesystem
Hello, I have a similar problem but in the "/" root directory in Solaris 8 Containers Branded Zone.
I have 50GB space free but only 2000 free inodes numbers.
If I put in the root filesystem more then 2000 files I obtain the "Not enough space free" message while the space is still a lot free.
Because is Solaris 8 and is the root filesystem I can't make the same solution based in ZFS filesystems. Can someone help me about this?
Thanks a lot!
You can either increase the size of file system using growfs or you can take the backup up the file system and then use the followign command:-
`newfs -i <nbpi> <other newfs parameters> to recreate the filesystem
"nbpi" is a confusing term but the smaller the number the more inodes in the filesystem.
Because is Solaris 8 and is the root filesystem I can't make the same solution based in ZFS filesystems.
I didn't check but why wouldn't a branded Solaris 8 zone be installed on ZFS ?
On Solaris Express on x86, I have Linux zones running on ZFS with no issues.
I don't have experience whit ZFS filesystems and I'm fighting with Solaris Containers Branded Zone for Solaris 8.
jlliagre: I read that a instance of Solaris 8 installed in a Solaris Containers Branded Zones can be installed in a ZFS filesystem. I believe that the problem could be that afther from the Solaris 8 we couldn't take advantadge of this features.
Solaris 8 containers have limitations, for example I don't have disks: SunOS 5.8# format
Searching for disks...done
No disks found! I can't use growfs (inexist in Solaris8) and if I use newfs I can't put any raw device.
jlliagre: Can you, in your linux zones running on ZFS, change the inodes capacity with newfs "newfs -i <nbpi>"? or perhaps in ZFS it is innecessary forever to do that.

Please let me know how to increase the size of rpool in solaris 11 in ldom. I know how to map the new LUN to LDOM after that please let me know the procedure to increase the rpool and how to identify new disk in OBP level of ldom as I need to set the new/lun to be my new boot device. (5 Replies)
Hi All,
While going through the old SUN docs, it occured to me that the run level initiating scripts /sbin/rc0,rc5 and rc6 have the same inode number. I understand they perform the same fuction (call /etc/rc0.d/K* and S* scripts) but still they are three different files and not linked to each... (2 Replies)
Dear all,
yesterday I had a big problem on Solaris 9. I cannot write anymore on /var. I checked the inode usage, and I see that for /var was at 100% with ifree = 0.
I deleted some unused files (like old log on /var/tmp and /var/log), now I have ifree=19641 and 99% iused:
root@ciy01 # df -F ufs... (12 Replies)
I got a game that output map tiles of the session with the 0,0 position at the place you login/spawn.
That makes making a map somewhat troublesome since the 0,0 will move.
So I've been looking for a way to change the numbers in the filenames of all files in a folder by a certain value.

Hi,
