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

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!
