Probably reconfigure the filesystem would be your best bet.

Hello badco,
Thanks for your reply,but I have very critical data on that file system.If I changed this it will be lost.
Is any utility or tools which can increase the file system
without losing any DATA.

Thanks

I believe you can use this (but I havn't tried myself )
Solaris UFS filesystems can be extended using mkfs -M (for mounted filesystem or
mkfs -G ( if unmounted )

Hi mikeclark,

AS I know and have a experience about mkfs command.This will
create new file system and lost the entire existing data.
Can you give me more idea?

Thanks,

If you back up (ufsdump etc...) filesystem and then reconfigure you will not lose any data.
