not enough file system space error
I have been trying to get all the update patches loaded and installed. I had been installing a few at a time without any problem. I finally decided to check a screens worth of patches and let them run. I then started to get the all so popular can't install because of this and that. Some of these patches are larger ones, that won't install because of "Not enough file system space to perform".
I have 9 patches sitting in /var/sadm/spool that won't load for one reason or another. Are patches in spool actually taking up system memory ? Is this why some of the larger ones are erroring with "not enough file system space"? Should I delete these patches ? Thanks, Fred |
What is the available space on your Solaris filesystems ?
When you install a Solaris patch, the overwritten files are backed-up in the /var/sadm/pkg/<packgeName>/save/<patchName>/undo.Z file. This allows to back-out a patch should something goes wrong. If you do not care/want this feature, use the "-d" patchadd option. |

Please wrap code tags around commands and their output to improve their readability.
Use "df -h" instead of "df" for something usable. The default disk slice sizing is brain dead :( Not sure about what your du command was measuring. Run that one: Code:
du -ks /var/sadm/pkg/ |
Here is the output:
# du -ks /var/sadm/pkg/ 462444 /var/sadm/pkg # Fred |
I guess I wasn't clear enough.
Run the "df -h" command an post its output surrounded by "code" tags. Click the "Go advanced" button an use the "#" icon to automatically tag the selected text if you aren't confortable enough to do it yourself. |
I'm not sure I understand what your asking ?
The command was: "du -ks /var/sadm/pkg/" The output was: "462444 /var/sadm/pkg" Am I missing what you are asking ? Thanks for your patience Fred |
Definitely. Read more closely my previous posting.

Didn't realize you are referring to the "df -h" Command
Output as follows: "Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 4.2G 4.0G 170M 97% / /devices 0K 0K 0K 0% /devices ctfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/contract proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab swap 1.6G 868K 1.6G 1% /etc/svc/volatile objfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/object /usr/lib/libc/libc_hwcap2.so.1 4.2G 4.0G 170M 97% /lib/libc.so.1 fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd swap 1.6G 44K 1.6G 1% /tmp swap 1.6G 20K 1.6G 1% /var/run /dev/dsk/c0d0s7 225G 521M 222G 1% /export/home" Fred |
Okay. You are still missing the code tags request but anyway, your / partition is almost full.
You should have given more to it at installation time instead of 4.2 GB, given the size of your hard-disk. One thing you can do is removing existing patch backup file. You can get the list of these files that way: Code:
ls -ls $(find /var/sadm/pkg -name undo.Z) | sort -n |
