Summary: Problems Upgrading Solaris 2.6 to Solaris 2.8

From: Mark Hargrave <hargrme_at_wisdom.maf.nasa.gov>

The problem is that I had moved /var/sadm to another partition.

ls -ld /var/sadm

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         10 Oct 23 09:24 /var/sadm -> /home/sadm


Since I increased the root partition before the upgrade attempt,
I'm able to move the "sadm" directory back to the /var directory
and perform the upgrade.

I did the following:

rm /var/sadm  (this removes the symbolic link)
mv /home/sadm /var

Thanks to all who responded!
