Hi, Today I tried to remotely upgrade a machine set up by someone else. Unfortunately softupdates was set in / and every make installworld fails in /sbin as it runs out of space. I'd dare not take down the machine in the middle of installworld (even though it's only upgrading from 3.0-current of about 3 weeks ago -- I've seen weird things happen). I ended up writing a script doing a "cd $dir; make install; sleep 10" in /usr/src/sbin and it's finally chugging along. Is there some other way out of this? Also, a caution to others -- do not set softupdates on /, you can get into a real mess.
