Re: /stand fs

Yes, but it's a bad idea. When you use SAM to build kernels, the previous kernel is saved as vmunix.prev. You can only boot from /stand and /stand must be an hfs filesystem. If you move this old kernel out and your current vmunix will not boot then you have no backup. It's unusual for /stand to fill up. Have you made many kernels manually so that you have a number of kernels in /stand? In addition to the current kernel, vmunix, you want to keep at least one backup kernel in /stand.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Re: /stand fs

Good grief! You have a system that has not been patched in years. In any event, that vmunix21025 is very large (~59MB) and looks bogus. That is the file I would move out of stand and keep vmunix.prev.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Re: /stand fs

but ...
the file named .prev is older than the other one....

13490700 Jul 12 2000 vmunix.prev

Re: /stand fs

Nonetheless, the file is so big that it is almost certainly bogus. You could try booting that vmunix21025 file but I'll bet that the boot will fail.

But it's not even executable.
What does file(1) show?
Or elfdump -f?

Re: /stand fs

Shalom,

Delete the 59 MB file and be done with it. The system is not booted off of it and this will solve the space problem.
