Dear all, i want to copy the partition contents from a smaller disk to a larger disk but without modifying the target disk partition size. To this end, i tried to use piping ufsdump to ufsrestore as 'ufsdump 0f - /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 l ufsrestore -i - /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0' but it was not successful. Can you please help me to correct my command to be successful?
fsdump 0f - /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 | (cd /t1_mountpoint; ufsrestore xf -)
Sorry. The target disk has larger partition sizes so how to mount it on primary disk smaller size partitions and folders?
???
Can you rephrase that.

rephrase != repeat

There is no relationship between partition sizes and mount points.
We deduce that you are trying to expand the root filesystem and are not having much success.
Assuming that you are only working on one computer there is a common theme to your recent threads but very little information about the Operating System(s), the disc systems, the file systems, or your project plan.

Are you booting from a DVD while you copy the root filesystem?
