Looks like you're onto plums unless you can drop the size of that partition #7 (home).
All the space on this disk is already allocated. You would need to either add another disk, or backup everything on partition 7, shrink the partition (see format command) ensuring that you shrink from the 1441 cylinder mark upwards, rather than from the end of the disk downwards, then create a new filesystem (see newfs command) on the new smaller partition. You can then grow your existing root partition (man growfs command).
if you have a 2nd disk you can use liveupgrade (man lu) to build a new disk (online) with the needed setup. afterwards you only need a downtime to reboot the machine with the new disk.
I have SCO Openserver 5.0.5
Root partition is 96% full and I would like to make it bigger. How can this be done?
1) Can I use 'dd' to backup 'root' and then backup '/u' to a third hard disk, then divvy the primary hard disk to have a larger 'root' filesystem (i.e. previous root + u)

Hi all,
we have an existing system that was configured using just one of the (two) internal disks. I want to mirror the disk using SVM, but have realised there is no free slice for creating the metadb's. Is there a workaround I can use for this?
In the past we have always kept slice 7 free -... (8 Replies)
How do I create new disk slices taking space from an existing slice? Right now I have slice 6 (/usr) with 16G. I'd like to create slices 5 (/opt) and 7 (/export/home) and steal space from slice 6.
