Greetings,
Is there a clean way to remove patches that have been superseded? I
have some machines whose /var/sadm is becoming full due to saved patch
backout data. I tried "patchrm -f" but it does not remove the patch.
Here is a typical example:
# uname -a
SunOS gssut101 5.10 Generic_118833-24 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2
# du -s /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWglrt/save/*
67306 /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWglrt/save/120812-12
84426 /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWglrt/save/120812-13
84385 /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWglrt/save/120812-14
21 /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWglrt/save/pspool
# patchrm -f 120812-12
Validating patches...
Loading patches installed on the system...
Done!
Checking patches that you specified for removal.
Done!
No patches to remove.
# du -s /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWglrt/save/*
67306 /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWglrt/save/120812-12
84426 /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWglrt/save/120812-13
84385 /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWglrt/save/120812-14
21 /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWglrt/save/pspool
Thanks.
