[nflug] Increasing Partition Size on Solaris...

[Darin Perusich]

yes you can but you need to be using the volume manager. in solars 9 and
greater the volume manager is part of the default OS, on solaris 8 and
earlier it's an add on package called 'disk suite', or you can pay for
third party volume mangers like veritas.

you have a few routes you can take, make /var into a volume or create a
new slice/partition. i'd create a new slice, copy/rsync the data you
need into this slice and mount it a location under /var. this will be
the least painful. without knowing any details of why you need more
space on /var that's about all i can recommend.

depending on where the partition boundaries lay you might be able to
increase the slice size and then growfs. i've never tried it but it
should work. what does the partition table look like?
