My 2GB /export/home/ directory is almost 100% full
df -k | grep /export/home
I intend to relocate it to a different 4GB filesystem late at night when there is no user on the system.
How do I go about it using ufsdump & ufsrestore ?
Kind Regards

First off, you don't use ufsdump/ufsrestore - your filesystem is controlled by Volume Manager - all you need to do is grow the filesystem - see the man page for vxresize or vxassist.
From Sunsolve:
To resize a UFS (grow only) or VXFS file system using Volume Manager 3.x/4.x,
Here is an example of the vxresize command in its basic syntax:
# vxresize -g diskgroup_name volume_name new_length
To determine the amount of space available for a resize, you can use the
# vxassist -g diskgroup_name maxgrow volume_name
The new_length can be specified as either the total volume length, or as an
# vxresize -g diskgroup_name volume_name +additional_space
You can also use this command to specify which disks to use for the resize:
# vxassist -g diskgroup_name maxgrow volume_name disk01 disk02
# vxresize -g diskgroup_name volume_name new_length disk01 disk02
For additional restrictions on the use of this command please reference the
For information on resizing a file system by the CLI for Volume Manager < 3.0,
man page for vxresize

if using vxassist you must make sure that you also grow the filesystem to match the new volume, use vxresize and you won't need to worry about that.
