Update from 3.0.0.4 to 3.0.0.8 Failure (out of space)

[hhh]

Hi,

I just ran an update from 3.0.0.1 and it did a part update to 3.0.0.4 with a kernel update was OK.
Trying to update again to 3.0.0.8 it runs out of space while doing backup. I have deleted all logs and messages, and it seems there are plenty of space on the disk (VMWARE image downloaded from here).



Any ideas?
Thanks

Wow that is quite a jump.

The problem you are seeing is that this is happening...(maybe, see next post)

3.0.0.4 -> 3.0.0.5
3.0.0.5 (backup) -> 3.0.0.6
3.0.0.6 (backup) -> 3.0.0.7
3.0.0.7 (backup) -> 3.0.0.8

It backups during each phase starting at 3.0.0.5 You have a couple options.

1) Free up space in var
2) Increase the size of var (viewtopic.php?f=14&t=516)
3) If you time it right, during each backup you could move the backup tarball out of /var

Another problem is the size of /tmp, the working directory for the EFA-Backup script

To work around this issue...either increase /tmp, or change the TMPDIR location....

/usr/local/sbin/EFA-Backup

Code: Select all

TMPDIR="/tmp"

Change to...

Code: Select all

TMPDIR="/var/EFA/backup/tmp"
