Hi,
I just had an upgrade 7.6 -> 7.7 fail due to not enough free space on /usr.
I had to manually delete /usr/share/relink/kernel/GENERIC.MP/ to free space.
System is an apu2, so amd64.
The system now seems to run o.k., only kernel relinking fails because of missing
/usr/share/relink/kernel/GENERIC.MP/ (of course)
The disk setup is now:
> df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sd0a 1005M 290M 665M 31% /
/dev/sd0k 7.2G 7.2M 6.9G 1% /home
/dev/sd0d 1.5G 10.0K 1.4G 1% /tmp
/dev/sd0f 2.0G 871M 1.0G 46% /usr
/dev/sd0g 909M 435M 429M 51% /usr/X11R6
/dev/sd0h 3.6G 1.2G 2.2G 36% /usr/local
/dev/sd0j 5.6G 2.0K 5.3G 1% /usr/obj
/dev/sd0i 1.6G 2.0K 1.5G 1% /usr/src
/dev/sd0e 2.3G 68.6M 2.1G 4% /var
Seeing that an unpacked GENERIC.MP for amd64 takes up 623MB and the
kernel has a size of 224 MB, I doubt that this system will be able to relink a
kernel with 1GB free space.
So I will eventually have to move /usr to a larger partition (sigh).
But the upgrade guide says
"Verify that the /usr partition has a size of at least 1.1G."
This system has a /usr with 2G, but see above.
Should that minimum size be increased or how is the upgrade supposed to
succeed on my system?
Best
Martin
PS: Of course thanks to the devs for the system!
