Hi All,

Pls help. High score will be given.

Hi Pak Dewa,

Good day to you !
On the option, un-mark 'Enforce disk space analysis errors'.

But with this one, you will get a warning message. And since you already know (from previous analyze), you can ignore the warning message about file system space.

If this one cannot help you, the last resource is to extend /home file system a little bit (the system just need to free up to 2026 Kbytes). Just make it not 100 %.

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,
AW

Hi Mr. Adisuria,

Thanks for your help.

What is the swinstall option we can use to "Enforce disk space analysis errors"? So swinstall will get installed successfully even though /home is 100%.

Thanks,
Dewa

Hi Pak Dewa,

from swinstall manpage :

enforce_dsa=true
Prevents the command from proceeding past the analysis phase if the disk space required is beyond the available free space of the impacted filesystem(s). If set to false, the install or copy operation uses the filesystem's minfree space and may fail because it reaches the filesystem's absolute limit.

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,
AW

swinstall enforce_dsa=true -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s bdhm:/var/spool/sw/applications/SECU SECU_TST @ bdhp4287

should be helpful

Thanks Adisuria. It looks fine to me. enforce_dsa=false is the correct option. Thanks again.
