RE: Root File System

If root file system is full, there are two alternates for time being, they are

1. adminstrator can use minfree space and can reduce inode space.
# tunefs -m0 / ( / represents root space)

2. The second method is a bit dangerous , should do it very carefully.

In solaris you can remove swap space using format command , which will free cylinders, now you can use growfs command to increase the root file system. after doing that you need create new file system for swap area.

but it is not advisable....all the time better to use tunefs to free minfree space.
