How To Shrink /Tmp

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi,

Do you know if we can shrink the size of the Swap under Solaris 8 ?

8Gb is already allocated to /TMP but we would like to reduce to 1 GB.

Thanks,

Fabien.

Just change it from single user off of cdrom

Example
boot cdrom -s
format
change swap partition to have only 1GB
Stop L1
boot

if you only want to shrink the /tmp you could use the following mount option:
mount -F tmpfs -o remount,size=1024m swap /tmp

fix the entry in your /etc/vfstab (the last table) with size=1024m

if you want to shrink swap use RTM's way :wink:
