increase fs and root dir

[jlmk]

Hi,

I am new to Solaris and have some question. First, Which command to check the available free space. I have execute the df command but it only shows the installed fs with its availability and used. How to check the physical used free space and how to increase that free space into the paticular fs?? Please indicate.

Second, I have created a user with its home directory. But when I login, it can goes to the home dir but it can cd to another dir. How can I restict its home dir to root dir??

Thanks

df -k will show you a more helpful format in kilobytes. However, it may be that you have disks which aren't being used. You can check this with format (but if you're inexperienced with this be very careful), comparing the disks with entries in /etc/vfstab. To any add extra space to filesystems, I use Solstice Disksuite, which you should find available in your mediapack. The instructions for this product are covered in some detail at

http://www.docs.sun.com

and I would recommend you read the relevant parts carefully before embarking on any changes. Post again if anything isn't clear.

There is a discussion of the restricted shell at thread60-65063 and you may find this useful to tie down your user. Hope this helps.

As always don't forget the "man" pages: - " man df" will give details of the df command. Ditto with format. As KenC says caution on format but to get the feel of the command here is an example of a 2 x disk system where the format command gives a simple listing of the disks and their contents: -

enter: format
