Last night an admin on the night shift attempted to patch and reboot a
Solaris 7 server. It has a lot of disks, but this was in single-user mode
so most of them would not be mounted.
In single user mode, when trying to install a patch (patchadd 1xxxxx-xx),
the system appeared to hang at the "verifying sufficient filesystem capacity"
step. After half an hour waiting at that step, he broke out of the patchadd.
I am including the beginning of the df -k output. Nothing is below the 4k
theshhold for patching. Anyone have any ideas why patchadd would hang? TIA.
