[SunHELP] Netra X1 Filesystem Full

Actually by default Sun systems use /export/home and not /home. Solaris assumes you'll want to NFS share home directories so it sets them up to be exported via /export/home. If you're actually using /home for user profiles then that is a problem, as you've seen. I suppose as an alternative you could move /home to /export/spare/ then symlink say "ln -s /export/spare/home /home", although I think creating a proper /export/home is a better solution, imo.
