Update from 11.11 to 11.23 Error

Kuang Chen — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 18:54:26 GMT

My filesystem match the space requirement, but I keep received error:

ERROR: Error parsing update-ux.cfg. Not enough minimum free space disk space

Is any one know what am I wrong?

Thanks

Yes, you're updating rather than cold installing. Standard practice amongst Forum participants is to cold install for precisely this sort of reason: the update process is unreliable at best.

Pete,

Do you have ideal how big should I give to /var /usr /opt?

Thanks

HI;

See :

http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-1978/ch02s02.html#babjiabd

Your disk space requirements for '/stand' are not met.

Regards!

Since I like to keep my root volume group free of user data and disk sizes are quite large nowdays, I make them BIG. My most recent install (11.23):

# bdfmegs -l

I guess that wasn't a very good example with that /work volume in there, but you get the idea. Sorry for the multiple postings, I didn't notice.
