Hi,

Is there any way to resize /export/home so that I can create a slice for 
LiveUpgrade to use?

I forgot that the old install tool doesn't automatically create space for 
LiveUpgrade, and need to create it manually.  I'd like to do this without 
re-installing if possible.  There's no user data in /export/home that I'm 
worried about.

Am I right in thinking I can do something like this:
- Boot Solaris in single user mode
- copy the files from /export/home to /
- umount /export/home
- use format to shrink slice 7
- add a new slice for LiveUpgrade (probably 8)
- format slice 7 as UFS
- mount /export/home on the resized slice
- copy the files from / back to /export/home
- reboot

I'm going to have a go at working this out myself (don't mind too much if I 
brick this server, this is for educational purposes as much as anything), but 
if anybody can confirm whether this will work I'd appreciate it.

thanks,

Ross
