3.69) How can I grow a UFS filesystem?

You can grow but not shrink a UFS filesystem if you manage to increase the size of the partition it lives in, with the following command:

/usr/lib/fs/ufs/mkfs -G -M /current/mount /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZsA newsize

Specifying the current mount point and raw device as well as the new size in 512 byte blocks.

You can do this even when the filesystem is mounted and in use.
