Extend filesystem in solaris
 
Hi,

I want to know is there any option of increasing the file system size in solaris like how we do lvextend in Linux. If it so what are the methods?.

Regards,
Hari.

If your filesystems are of ufs type and if the underlying partition/volume can be enlarged, use growfs.
If you are using zfs, just grow the pool and all filesystems on it would have more space available.

How shall i find whether the file system is of ufs or zfs?.

Code:

mount -p
The fourth column will tell you what file system type is used for each of those which are mounted.
