Expanding root partition in Solaris 10 VirtualBox virtual machine

807557Jan 9 2010 — edited Jan 13 2010

I am running a Solaris 10 u8 x86 64-bit guest as a VirtualBox VM on a WinXP x64 host. I was running out of space in the guest VM, so I used CloneVDI (http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22422) to clone and expand the VM from 20GB to 30GB. Now I need to expand the / partition in the VM filesystem so that it sees the whole 30GB now available. What is the best way to do this within the Sol10 guest? Is there a way to simply add a new "extent" to the existing filesystem?

Thank you in advance...
