device out of space
Hi,
i'm trying to install Perl to my solaris 7 server using the pkgadd command. When doing so it returns the message this device is out of space.
Does this mean my hard disk? how do i find out what free space i have left and what my hard disk is in space terms.
command line instrcutions would be helpful here.
regards

pkgadd will generally install perl in /usr/local.
df -k will tell you each mounted file system's actual space and available space. dont go for the % space available, look at the actual kbytes available. if your file system (on which /usr/local) is out of space, then you can download perl source and build it with a --prefix=/some/other/path
Example df -k output:
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 1967118 1486729 283678 84% /

Hi,
If you have lots of room in /usr, the problem is in /var. pkgadd will temporarily put the files in a subdirectory of /var. I think it's called /var/spool/pkg/reloc or something.
Do a 'df -k /var' while you are running the pkgadd and you'll see what I mean.
