Creating New Filesystem

Creating New Filesystem

Post by Stephen Evan » Thu, 31 Dec 1998 04:00:00



Hi,

just installed v2.2.7 and created the following filesystems /, /usr, /var
and a swap.  There is another 400m free on the IDE disk, how do I go about
creating a filesystem of say 200m

1. Creating New Filesystem /usr

If I have a Solaris 8 server that has /usr locally on the / partition and I want
to use
some free space on the disk to create a /usr partition - how do I do this and
have the
contents of the / partitions /usr copied to the /usr partition?

Is it just a case of creating the new partition within the "format" command,
adding an entry
in /etc/vfstab, and cpio'ing the files to the new /usr - my worry is there will
be two /usr paths.
