Any hints ? Why somebody want's to do that? I need to grow slice 1 from the solaris DVD. If I create a complete new fs, then the parameters don't match the fs on the DVD. Is this a problem ? Sincerely Bernhard I tried to grow a fs in file, but couldn’t get growfs/mkfs to do it. Any hints ?

Why somebody want’s to do that?

I usually prefer to boot from network to do this. But when you need to do it online, you need -M The first argument to growfs ( the value passed to “-M” ) is the mount point of the file system to grow.
