Hi everybody !!!

I have a Sun Sparc with Solaris 7 as a main server machine. It runs a web server with a DB Informix Universal Server.
My partitions are:
/ - /usr - /opt - /home - swap

/usr is around 91% and /opt around 85% used.
I think is time to add a new disk as slave, but because I'm a newbie these are my doubts:

1) How can I do to make part of this second disk available for /usr and /opt ???

2) Or maybe I have no possibility to expand the capacity of my /usr and /opt partitions anymore ???

Thanks a lot, regards !!!

Lorenzo

recreate them on the new drive, copy the stuff to the new location, then modify the mounting tab.
