Problems patching up my system
I have my Solaris 10 01/06 up and running on a P4 HT with 64 bit support.
The kernel patch is 118844_26 (if I remind me well) and it runs smoothly.
I use the update manager's gui to update the system and most of the patches are installed without any trouble.
There are, however, some patches I am unable to install due to a lack of space at /var.
It seems that the backout data is consuming all the space in the device.
After some search on the internet I came across a solution: to remove the backout data.
I found out, that if I remove all the directories at /var/sadm/pkg the update manager stops working. It stalls in when I try to analyze the system. If I put the directories back, the update manager works just fine again.
Now the question: is it possible to dispose of the backout data? how is it done?
