Lars and Frantzen:
If you want to install extra products like freeware, they have a README that tells you how much extra space to allocate to /var and /opt if you want to install their product. The Solaris Installer only knows about the OS and the JES at this point. When you install Solaris and want to install other extra products that are not included, then you will need to allocate extra disk space. > From the "df -h" o/p, I don't see /var as a separate partition. > /var resides on / and this partition has only 4.0GB and 98% of that is > already full (may be after you installed extra software)! > You have /export/home has 140GB allocated. That much is not need for > home (unless you are planning to keep a huge database there) > > So, when you do partitioning, allocate more space to the root (/) > filesystem......say 20GB (if you know the size of the extra software > that you are going to install on / in the later stages, take that into > consideration and add few more GBs). Since you have lot of harddisk > space, allocating few more extra GBs to / will not be a waste. > > Hope this helps. > > Regards, > Narendra > > > > > On 10/18/06, *Lars Frantzen* <lars at frantzen.info > <mailto:lars at frantzen.info> > wrote: > > Hello, > > I am new to Solaris, installing finally went fine with Solaris > Express 10/06, but when it > came to installing the freeware from SUNs site it failed since /var > ran out of space. > > I used the automatic partition scheme by the installer, which seems > to have strange > defaults (160 GB HD): > > $ df -h > Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on > /dev/dsk/c1d0s0 4.0G 3.9G 84M 98% / > /devices 0K 0K 0K 0% /devices > /dev 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev > ctfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/contract > proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc > mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab > swap 1.7G 732K 1.7G 1% /etc/svc/volatile > objfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/object > /usr/lib/libc/libc_hwcap1.so.1 > 4.0G 3.9G 84M 98% /lib/libc.so.1 > fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd > swap 1.7G 616K 1.7G 1% /tmp > swap 1.7G 28K 1.7G 1% /var/run > /dev/dsk/c1d0s7 142G 492M 140G 1% /export/home > /export/home/lf 142G 492M 140G 1% /home/lf > > Guess I will just reinstall everythng, but can someone please hint me > to a better partition scheme?
