increasing opt partition
|

| I require some help I think on this please.
I have a Sparc20 with an internal 2Gb disk (IBM) as c0t3d0.
I also have external 4Gb disks as c0t0d0 and c0t2d0.
Running Solaris 7.
My /opt dir is on the internal (t3) disk, which is full, I wish to
move this onto the t0 disk, but am having problems doing this.
I cp'd the dir across and edited vfstab by hashing out the original entry
and
replacing with the new entry pointing to the new disk. This did not work!!
What am I doing wrong? I was thinking of reformatting all drives, and doing
a fresh partition setup and install of the O/S/ I may upgrade this at some
point
to Sol 9.
Any info or pointers etc would be most welcome.
Regards
Neil

After changing vfstab you should manually
umount /opt
mount /opt
or do a reboot so the new disk is mounted at boot.
Ensure you have a "yes" in the "mount at boot" column in vfstab.
