I use disksuite on our system, and have some soft partitions created. They all reside on a 10G slice right now. I want to expand one soft partition by, say, 1G. I look at the growfs command, but it will only let me expand to the full size of the concatation. I tried the -s (final size) option, but it won't let me specify a size greater than what it already is, then it doesn't grow any??? Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Will
 
OK, I got it figured out. You have to do a metattach to it before you can grow it. 'metattach d9 1g' as an example, then do a growfs.
