Well, I've gotten quite the gambit of replies. A few people have advised me to not touch /var/sadm at all, saying that to modify anything would destroy my ability to patch the system in the future. Others suggested that the entirety of /var/sadm/patch could be removed without consequence (other than the inability to roll back patches). Yet others suggested that I remove all undo.Z and/or obsolete.Z files in /var/sadm/pkg. After some serious backups, I tried the latter approach, since the undo.Z and obsolete.Z files were taking up the most space. I then was able to apply the security patches needed with no issues, indicating that removal of the files is safe so long as you don't need to roll back. Hopefully. Removing undo.Z and obsolete.Z freed up 85% of the used disk space in /var. -- Dani Calloway _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Sep 12 14:50:39 2008
