how to allocate new partition??

[JazzGeek]

Hi All

I'm stuck here, as I've not enough experience doing this as I should have.

I have 50 GB disk. Only 20 Gigs was orginally formatted and used.

I have used the "format" command and started at the first available cylindar and allocated another 10 GIGS of, to the tag: alternates.

However, I don't know how to use this new 10 gigs. How can I mount this new 10 gigs to make it usable?

Thank you for your help.

So you allocated more space to a new disk slice?

s0 /
s1 swap
s2 overlap
s3 /export/home
s4 /new_space

I assume you want a new file system mounted

newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s4 (note s4 is your new slice)
mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 /your_mount_point_new_space

edit the /etc/vfstab file so your new partition will mount at boot time.
