Hello
I am plenty of file in
/var/lib/system-upgrade
Why ?
The system upgrade process downloads all the RPMs needed to upgrade the
system to that directory, then creates a symlink called
"/system-upgrade" to point at it. When the system reboots in the
upgrade mode, it uses the symlink to actually upgrade the system.
If your upgrade is complete and clean, I think you can remove the
files in /var/lib/system-upgrade.
This should happen automatically on the first boot after a successfull
upgrade.
Didn't happen on 2 of the 3 machines I updated from F21 to F22, but
perhaps there were crumbs left over from the upgrade. They all booted
and run just fine and I don't think I saw any weirdness, but perhaps
there was something the first boot didn't like. My machines do tend to
become sorta "muddy" over time (I beat the kapok out of them) and
anything's possible.
No, I haven't upgraded to F23 yet. Still waiting for the dust to settle
a bit more.
The question remains>
Is it safe to delete this directory (given that rebooting does not)?
I checked at home and my F21->F22 left that present. I deleted it:
rm -rf /var/lib/system-upgrade
rm -f /system-upgrade
and rebooted with no ill effects so my guess is, yes, it's OK to delete
it once you've confirmed you're running OK in the upgraded environment.
