Add more space



Hi all:

My current space is:

Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 2052750 60767 1930401 4% /
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 2505902 1013470 1442314 42% /usr
/proc 0 0 0 0% /proc
fd 0 0 0 0% /dev/fd
mnttab 0 0 0 0% /etc/mnttab
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 240399 107255 109105 50% /var
swap 1352736 32 1352704 1% /var/run
swap 1353960 1256 1352704 1% /tmp
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 663646 151063 452855 26% /opt
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 1691406 645928 994736 40% /export/home


Is there a way to add more space to /usr and /var ? by taking some
from / since it is only 4% used?
I'm trying to install Solaris 8 Recommended patch cluster and it is
telling me I don't have enough space.

ns1# ./install_cluster

Patch cluster install script for Solaris 8 Recommended Patch Cluster


*WARNING* SYSTEMS WITH LIMITED DISK SPACE SHOULD *NOT* INSTALL
PATCHES:
With or without using the save option, the patch installation process
will still require some amount of disk space for installation and
administrative tasks in the /, /usr, /var, or /opt partitions where
patches are typically installed. The exact amount of space will
depend on the machine's architecture, software packages already
installed, and the difference in the patched objects size. To be
safe, it is not recommended that a patch cluster be installed on a
system with less than 4 MBytes of available space in each of these
partitions. Running out of disk space during installation may result
in only partially loaded patches. Check and be sure adequate disk
space
is available before continuing.

Are you ready to continue with install? [y/n]: y
Determining if sufficient save space exists...
Insufficient space in /var/sadm/patch to save old files.

Space available in kilobytes: 133144
