Hi All

I need some help configuring my E250 with a different mount point for
the /opt I have added a new 36gb disk (c0t10d0) and partitioned and
formatted it successfully using format and newfs. I then temporarily
mounted it to ensure all was well. no problems.

I want to move the /opt from it current default point on the boot disk
(c0t0d0sx) to the c0t10d0s0 slice.

I have looked in the vfstab but don't see the /opt listed and I am sure
it is not as easy as simply adding the /opt to the vfstab. Perhaps
someone can point me in the right direction? This is my first foray back
into the unix world in a number of years and yes it is all different!

My current config is


Sun e250 with 400mhz proc x2, 1.25 gb ram, 3 - 9gb of which the first
one (c0t0d0sx) holds the root slice etc from a default install of
solaris 10. The second 9gb drive (c0t8d0sx) one is mounted to
/home/home0, the third one (c0t9d0sx) is unassigned although I was
thinking of using it for /var although I understand this can be somewhat
problematic.

The 4th drive (c0t10d0s0) is 36gb which is the one I would like to use
to hold /opt. Primarily I want to run MySQL off of it for some DB
development.

I am not running the solstice on the box as I was trying to keep things
simple to begin with.

Really I am looking for a step by step in order to accomplish this with
a minimum of fuss. Eventually I will have to look at solstice .


Thanks for any help
