Solaris Guest File System Full

Post by bobyera1 »

I have a Solaris 10 guest on a Windows 10 host. The Solaris guest was created as a dynamically allocated storage up to 16gb. After patching, the system now is around 8.4gb, but it is reporting file system full. How do I make it use the other 7+gb of space?

Code: Select all 

root@s10new # df -k
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 8495942 8458735 0 100% /
/devices 0 0 0 0% /devices
ctfs 0 0 0 0% /system/contract
proc 0 0 0 0% /proc
mnttab 0 0 0 0% /etc/mnttab
swap 1284244 1012 1283232 1% /etc/svc/volatile
objfs 0 0 0 0% /system/object

Do you see that "/export/home"? That's unused? That's where the rest of your virtual disk is.

The question is not necessarily a VirtualBox question, but rather a Solaris version. Unless you're interested in increasing those 16 GB to something bigger, in which case you should take a look at How to resize a Virtual Drive.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
