What the... I haven't used separate FileSystems since PROM 1.x, where the / FS couldn't be booted by the PROM if it had been greater than 1GB. Look: df -h Filesystem Size Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/md/dsk/d0 16G 7.6G 8.1G 49% / /devices 0K 0K 0K 0% /devices ctfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/contract proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab swap 1.1G 648K 1.1G 1% /etc/svc/volatile objfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/object fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd swap 1.2G 175M 1.1G 14% /tmp swap 1.1G 44K 1.1G 1% /var/run Do you see that? That's one single FileSystem for everything, on an 18GB disk no less.
