I thought I was past this with the last server I rebuilt, but I have a
couple of servers that are close and one that has just hit the limit.
Not enough space in /var to do the recommended patches.

| What would happen if I moved /var/sadm/pkg to a totally different
| partitian and then created a symlink to it? Would there be any
| problems with that? I'm assuming it isn't an active directory but is
| only accessed when I use one of the pkg commands. True?
