Resize slice for 8 to 9 Upgrade
 

The 15GB drive in the Blade 100 I'm working with has a 6GB slice for / (/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0) and a couple of swap slices and an 8GB slice for a thing called /space (/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3).

/space is now almost empty and I need more space on / to do the upgrade. The upgrade fails and I'm now getting Current Size - 6291936, Minimum Suggested - 7533851 for c0t0d0s0.

I'm am very new to solaris. How can I give 2GB from /space to / ?
I can lose data on /space, but not on / .

Thanks...

Ok, doing some more research, looks like I might need to use ufsdump and ufsrestore. The slice on disk2, c0t2d0s0, has 22GB free currently. Maybe I can use ufsdump to back up / over there and then repartition disk1. Then use ufsrestore to bring / back to the larger slice.

Does that sound about right? I bet it's more complicated than that.

What is used in solaris to repartition? fdisk? That would be good for me.

Thanks...

To repartition disks under solaris use the command "format".
