To cleanup old patches cd /var/adm/sw/save swmodify -x patch_commit=true PH* To get more space in /var without going to single user. du -ks /var/* locate the most used directories that can be missed for some time make a new file system mount it for example. Stop swagentd mount the new file system under /var/adm/sw_new mv /var/adm/sw/* /var/adm/sw_new mv /var/adm/sw_new /var/adm/sw The size of the new sw directory should be the current size from du -ks and some extra space as told you be the swinstall log. have fun, Paul P.S. It's a good idea to have a current backup and to make a make_recovery tape first. * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
