[SunHELP] Adding disk space

All,

Recently I installed Solaris 2.7 on my Sun SPARCStation 10.  It had 1
2.5 GB HD in it, but that is BARELY enough for a full install of
OpenWindows and the related programs.  I have purchased a couple more
hard drives for the box, but am wondering how to add the disk space. 
Here is a view of my drive layout:

[tdc at discovery /export/home/tdc ]$ df -k 
Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/proc                      0       0       0     0%    /proc

/vol/dev/dsk/c0t6d0/sol_7_399_sparc/s1

                      516456  516456       0   100%   
/cdrom/sol_7_399_sparc/s0

I'm wanting to increase the open space in /usr, /var, etc. so that when
I install packages and the like, I don't have to worry about putting
stuff in strange locations.  Should I just scrap the box and start
over?  I don't have much data on it and reinstallation would be a big
issue.  But it would be nice to know if something of this nature could
be done.

Cheers!
