Looks like you're using solaris10. What architecture? If it's x86, I'm sure the business could afford a test machine. Anyway, it looks like you have /usr in /'s slice. You could move it out, if you have enough space: boot single user, create new fs, copy /usr to it, make entries in /etc/vfstab to mount the new fs on /usr, reboot, and just before rebooting, 'mv /usr /usr.old' reboot. if it looks ok, rm -r /usr.old if it doesn't look ok, you'll have to boot with the cdrom and do hairy repairs. if you've run out of slices, you can use softpartitions instead. there's quite a few details missing above, but googling might get you the rest ps. no warranty :-) -- Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
