CC: to hackers, as it may be better discussed there. #define quoting(Satoshi Asami) // 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. Is there a strong reason for softupdates be a tunefs option, instead of a mount option ? This could be easily solved by a mount -u -o async / make install mount -u -o softdep / Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis M.Sc.
