Increasing the HDD

[murali2104]

Hi,
I got a fresh SUN_SPARC machine with Solaris 8.
AS per config, it should have 140GB HDD.
But it shows only 12 GB HDD.

How can I see adn add/increase the HDD space?

earlier on a AIX machine, I am able to increase using "smitty jfs"--But not sure on Solaris?

Thanks,
Murali

how did you find out?

use format to get a full list of HDDs available

if your root FS is 12G and you want to enlarge ist it will be a bigger deal (sunsolve.sun.com will show you how to do so), a workaround would be to mount FS at the place you need more space
