so the root filesystem is 99% full. > /dev/dsk/c1d0s7-----50G---51M-------49G 1%---------- /export/home > > You can see ive got some 50G of space I can use...

Yes, but the space is in /export/home, and the packages are likely to be added to the root filesystem or at least require a bit of space in there for manipulation. Easier option: You do not have a separate /opt filesystem, and I suspect much of your pkg-get stuff will be adding stuff under /opt. So move /opt to where you have space, and symlink across. You could consider the same for /usr/local if du -hs /usr/local shows much usage under there. Here are the steps for /opt (you may want to do this for only /opt/csw or similar): # cd / # find opt | cpio -pdum /export/home # echo "Do not proceed if the last step had errors" # rm -rf /opt # ln -s /export/home/opt Longer term option: Grow the root filesystem. Your disk slicing appears to be s0: / 4.6G s1: swap? ??G s2-s6 unused s7 /export/home 50G 1% used So I'd suggest temporarily migrating the existing /export/home material to some other disk and then expanding the root filesystem at the expense of the old /export/home, taking into account the possibility of a swap slice in-between. I'd do away with the swap slice and use a swap file, instead. Actually that could be the easiest approach, of you have a swap slice at s1 of a gig or more. Use swap -d to remove it from service, and remove the /dev/c1d0s0s1 line from vfstab. Now grow s0 to expand into s1, and growfs the root filesystem. It is probably safest to boot off DVD for this, but I think format -e (expert) will allow you to change the labelling of a disk with mounted slices, and growfs will then grow the filesystem to the size of the newly-expanded device. Finally add a swap file to the system to replace the swap slice. Hope that helps Gavin P.S. zfs root will do away with this nonsense since your storage is pooled and you won't have free space in the wrong place. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
