Weird. Check this out:
The output of df -k:
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 245679 157478 63634 72% /
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 2055463 1016924 976876 52% /usr

/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 33049606 38 32719072 1% /export/spare
The output of format --> partition --> print:
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 root wm 0 - 128 256.99MB (129/0/0) 526320
1 swap wu 129 - 643 1.00GB (515/0/0) 2101200
2 backup wu 0 - 19155 37.27GB (19156/0/0) 78156480
3 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
4 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
5 var wm 644 - 1672 2.00GB (1029/0/0) 4198320
6 usr wm 1673 - 2701 2.00GB (1029/0/0) 4198320
7 home wm 2702 - 19155 32.01GB (16454/0/0) 67132320
Note that home says it has 32GB but it is mounted as '/export/spare'?
What the heck is that? I had root filled because as of right now, the
/home partition is a part of /, hence it fills up really quickly. Looks
like Sun's factory install is messed up? Don't they usually make /home
huge? I will adjust /etc/vfstab....unless I am courageous and I grow /
and /usr.....
