swpackage tape size

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Hard to choose a category. I just chose general.

I'm preparing gcc-4.0.0 depots, and the tape size seems to be ignored.

HTF do I get the size so that it just does what I want?

I started with a combined depot (32 and 64 bit), but it started to complain about the size, so I split up. But it still complains

FWIW This *does* work on 11.11, so I can modify the psf to get the source from another location

Doesn't the following command work on 11.00?

# swpackage -x media_type=tape -s /tmp/gcc.psf @ /tmp/gcc.depot

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Yes it does. But the source of the problem was something else :(

With all my attempts to write depots, I just filled up the target volume, so there was no disk space left. I was justb overlooking that small but important fact.

swpackage -s gcc-400-1100.psf -x media_type=tape -x reinstall_files_use_cksum=true @ /data/gcc-4.0.0-11.00.sd

11.00 depot on the way up.
