How do you expand a file system on Solaris 10 that is running as a LDOM on Solaris 11

I'm somewhat new to Solaris but needing to expand an existing file system /work on our solaris 10 ldom that was P2V'd into a Solaris 11.2 environment. I also have several additional questions that I can't seem to find an answer for anywhere.
When trying to expand the disk device using the "format" command, when you get to the partition and it asks you to "Enter partition size(147456b, 2c, 3891e, 72.00mb, 0.07g]:" what does the "b" "c" "e" sizes indicate and why and when would you use them? It seems that you would want to always just add size based on MB or GB?
When trying to use "growfs" after I increased a partition on a disk, I get error devinfo: /dev/dsk/c0d0s7: Inappropriate ioctl for device, growfs: cannot get partition size. What step have I missed?

One suggestion: if you can't figure out how to put a file system on the empty space, you could clone your current partition to an external drive, re-partition the internal drive drive and then clone the external back. Like John, I've heard of utilities that can re-partition a drive without erasing your data, but I just can't imagine using one if I didn't have a clone anyway. So that's what I've done when I want to change a partition size.

How do you install a file system on an empty partition?

Hi. I'm running 10.3.9 on a B&W G3. I've formatted a 100Gb drive with a 40Gb partition on which Panther is installed (and which is running even as I type) and several empty partitions. I was going to install OS 9 on one of the empty partitions, but Disk Utility doesn't seem to want to let me do install a file system on an empty partition. Hence, the OS 9 installer can't find the empty partitions, and therefore can't install.
Is there another way to put a file system on an empty partition?

How do you repair the EFI systems partitions when you mac tells you that the live file system is not supported?

how do you repair the EFI systems partitions when you mac tells you that the live file system is not supported?

I don't have good news. You will need to repartition and reformat the hard drive in order to determine if the drive is still OK or if it needs to be replaced. If your computer is a 2011 model or later do the following:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
If your computer is pre-2011 model, then locate the original installer discs that came with the computer. Then do this:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. You can now download a version of OS X from which to upgrade from your Purchases page in the App Store.

How to check if a file system in global zone is shared on zones

Hello,
Would you by any chance know how to detect if a file system in the global zone is shared with any zones created from the global zone (either shared with readonly or read-write)?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Frank

Usually they're shared via lofs. So try 'df -kZ -F lofs'.

How to store preferences in file system on Windows?

I have 2 questions related to preferences using.
1. How to store preferences in file system (not in registry) on Windows? I see file system implementation of Preferences (java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences). But this implementation is linux-specific (use native methods). Does universal implementation exist?
2. How to store custom files in preferences? I need to store some user-specific files (XML files, for example) somewhere. These files are naturally user preferences. So my idea is to store it using Preferences. But it seems like there is no such posibility in standard preferences. I believe many peoples have the same problem. Does anyone have solution?
Please help me!
Thank you in advance.

Preferences is supposed to keep all this data
handling away from you, so you shouldn't bother. If
you'd like to write a file, just write a file. You
could create a "Settings" object and serialize it.I understand your reasonings. But unfortunately I have requirements to use file system preferences both on Linux and Windows. My bosses think there are many problems because of registry. Don't ask what problems, they didn't say. I cannot change their requirements. I must to implement it.
Maybe somebody already solved this proplem. I will very grateful for help.
Once again: simply write and read a custom file. Why
do you use Preferences at all costs when they don't
do what you want to?I have requirements to implement saving of files in the same manner as saving of preferences. It may be different code from Preferences. But it will be the best to have the same code if it possible.
Any way I believe the need to save user-specific files as preferences is quite widespread.

How can I transfer my files/system in VAIO laptop (w/ S400 Firewire port) to my New Macbook Pro?

How can I transfer my files/system in VAIO laptop (w/ S400 Firewire port) to my New Macbook Pro?
Do I need to buy an adapter? How do I setup the software to make these two system connected?

Thanks for your answering. But the issue is that I'll often transfer a large amount files from PCs to the Macbook, and I'm explring the way to use firewire since there is indeed an i-S400 port in the VAIO laptop, and it's much faster.
USB 2 is faster than Firewire 400 and USB 3 is faster than Firewire 800
If it was another Mac you were transferring from then you could use Firewire Target Disk Mode which makes the boot drive of the old Mac appear on the desktop of the new Mac to rapidly copy files, but you have a Windows PC with no FWTDM capability.
So to connect the two machines requires a network be setup over Ethernet and mucking around with the complexities of all that and it still takes awhile to finish. One can't setup a network with a PC over USB or Firewire, only Firewire with another Mac.
You get a external USB drive, USB 3,2,1 is fine and just drag and drop copy, the machine does all the work and you go do something else until it's finished, then repeat the same with the Mac.
Fast simple and effective, let it copy overnight if you have too.
I routinely clone my entire hard drive via USB 2 and it only takes a hour and a half for 350GB.
By the time you figure out how to network a Mac and a PC over Ethernet and getting it work to transfer files, you could be done already via USB.

There are 2 versions of a document file on my iPad.
I want to get rid of the obsolete one.
The iPad Users Guide does not describe how to delete a document file.
This is very frustrating!

The iPad Guide is for the iPad itself, not other apps you may install.
If you use Pages then read the online help here: http://help.apple.com/pages/ipad/2.2/ - specifically this: http://help.apple.com/pages/ipad/2.2/#/tancfc4d5c02

How do you select multiple files to drag

How do you select multiple files to drag from one folder to another? Is there a command?

Open the folder which has the contents you want to transfer. Press COMMAND 'A' and then all of the data should be highlited in blue. Drag it to the new folder.
If only certain files are to be transferred, then you have to select them (COMMAND 'A') individually and the drag them as a group to the new location.

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.

When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.

Not sure if Mavericks is worth the effort of downloading and I prefer mountain lion. How do you make a file in Finder.

I am not sure if Mavericks is much better than Mountain Lion as an OS. The maps part was okay but I could not view the map as shown on the apple website, there was no 3D. How do you create a file in Finder on the MacBook Pro.?

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DID IT! I cannot believe it!
I changed "Move To Trash" to "Move to Trash" and selected a file. I had lost all hope, so I took a minute to prepare myself for yet another moment of deep frustration. Then I pressed F10, and bang! the file was trashed!!! It took me a couple minutes to actually believe what just happened. Thank you so much! If I could, I would "like" you as many times as I can physically hit the "Liked" button!
PS: what the heck is wrong with Apple though??? Wrong instructions, incorrect help instructions on their own site. The chances of figuring this out before having a nervous breakdown were like one in a million (approximately, I did not actually do the math). Last week, the keyboard and the trackpad stopped responding on my brand new macbook pro for a couple hours. I was not the only one with this problem. Apparently, this was from a design flaw, which means it could happen again at any time. iMovie doesn't work. TextEdit keeps crashing all the time. Emptying the trash can take hours.
Since 2000, I bought a PMac G4 Quicksilver, a used PMac G3 Blue, a used iBook G4, a used Pismo PBook G3, a used Graphite iMac G4, a used iMac G3 (green, 233MHz I think) and I already had more problems with this brand new macbook pro than will all the other macs combined... For such an expensive machine, with 16GB of RAM, that's a little dissapointing, especially from Apple. Maybe I'm just not lucky.
Anyways, thanks again! Best moment of 2014!

How do you separate corrupt files from good files on a external hard drive importing them to my macbook pro

HT3847 how do you determine a file is "empty"?

I have somehow duplicated all my iTunes files... thereby taking up valuable space on my harddrive. This was caused by moving my iTunes "music, etc" back to the harddrive after using an external HD for a long time.
I have read the article saying something about files being in "ITunes Media", rather than just "iTunes". So, it seems that I should just be able to remove all duplicates that have the path without "iTunes Media". HOWEVER, I am not able to find the FOLDER called "iTunes Media" on my harddrive... which seems it should be in the "Music" folder.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The iTunes Media folder is located in the /Music/iTunes/ folder.
Everything in iTunes is in /Music/iTunes/ folder.

How did you "move" the files?
