OT: Solaris question

[Duane Attaway]

Do you have a disk, partition, or directory free that is large enough?  
You can make a symbolic link of /opt somehwere in the directory structure 
of a larger partition.  Or you can mount opt into its own partition with 
the mount command, even using a whole disk.  When you need space, call up 
your friends ln -s and mount.  They will help you move your furniture 
around without you breaking a sweat.
