Solaris

Hi All,

I need to increase the filesystem of / and /var (two different slices)? Space will be coming from /home slice so I need to decrease it. Is that possible without reinstallation or in a single-user-mode?

Any idea or link please.

Thanks in advance.

if you have a second disk, you can do it with "liveupgrade"... all you need is one reboot after you've done the configuration.

that is complicated, I don't have time to play with this.

On single user mode, can i umount /var and then recreate this to a bigger new slice? I might have to move some filesystem on root to be on another slice too.

any ideas?

Maybe,

y can increase /var and decrease /home and move /opt to another slice, but only in single-user-mode.

print y disk partition and `metastat -p`

If you have no space to expand your FS, I supppose you do a backup of all the partition. Recreate the partitioning using the format utility and newfs the slices again . do a restoration.. this takes time
