add space to filesystem in solaris
I need step-by-step on how to add more space to /apps in solaris. Currently df -hk:

/dev/md/dsk/d40 15G 13G 1.6G 90% /app

How much can I expand and how?
Thanks in advance.

Looks like you are using Disksuite to mirror?/stripe? etc. your drives? Are you sure that you even have unallocated space on the drive that the filesystem currently exists on (look at format) - do you know how your meta devices relate to the actual physical drives?

More information would be helpful

Cheers,

Keith

The output from 'metastat' would be helpful in knowing what type of set up this is. Also post the OS version.
