I'm sure that you will get more detailed answers, but the correct answer
will depend directly on software.  Straight Sun OS out of the box (i.e.,
2.5, 2.51. 2.6, 2.7 (7), 8), I would say no.  

However, it is real common to have a software pkg such as Veritas that does
this (I think that FS on fly growth was prominent in AIX first, then
becoming available as add-ons to other OS's - I think that HP may have this
as a common feature (like AIX)), and I think that it is now out in Linux.

Well, don't build a house on the above comments, but at least you have
something to start on.
