OpenBSD makes sysupgrade more graceful |
 |
In the past, OpenBSD's system upgrade tool could be overly optimistic about how much disk space it had to work with on the /usr partition. A change has been introduced which will cause the upgrade tool (sysupgrade) to gracefully fail rather than fill up a partition that is too small. "If 'df /usr' says the filesystem is over 90% full, rather than potentially completely breaking the system, fail the sysupgrade. This comes with a message pointing people to read a new Sub-Section PRUNING in the manual page which will softly lead them to understand all the nuances involved and that their best choice is to reinstall with a bigger /usr." Additional information about this change is covered by the OpenBSD Journal site.
