Disk Repartitioning
I need to free up slice 7 (c0t0d0s7 - for Disk Suite metadb files), on which '/var' is currently mounted. I'm hoping to avoid a complete backup/repartition/restore
Ideas/comments/solutions appreciated.

What I've decided to do is: partition a second disk moving '/opt/var' to '/opt' as suggested (the only thing currently on '/opt' is two symbolic links pointing to a '/shared' mount point which mounts '/opt/var' on a RAID 5 StorEdge Disk Array), then restore a Tivoli backup to the newly partitioned disk with slice 7 unused boot up and see how the application (BroadVision One to One) handles the change. If it works, this will become my new root/boot disk. I'll prtvtoc the new to the existing, format, newfs and use it as the DiskSuite mirror disk. Sound feasible?
Sounds like a feasible and very safe way to proceed :-)
Good luck
