I am attempting to take 7.6A on TLA a DEC3100.
I've encountered several problems. first disk space...
Copying X server from /usr/bin/Xws to /etc
/: write failed, file system is full
cp: /etc/Xws: No space left on device
Updating version...done
I don't have an Xserver right now, lemme find some things to blow away.
Hmmm, whts this??? looks like the relese created it or something, maybe???
tla# ls -lRa /.deleted/
total 266
drwxrwxr-x 2 root 512 Jul 10 00:16 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root 1024 Jul 10 00:13 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 180224 May 1 1992 etc.athena.afsd
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root 40960 Mar 19 1991 init
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root 40960 Mar 19 1991 sh
(moved to var)
tla# rm /etc/athena/snmpd
(for now)
new plan, I can use the console to get X later, for now link it to the
packs.
AAaargh the lack of space is my fault. I didn't shutdown before
updating, therefore things like the X server couldn't leave the disk.
I still want to know what /.deleted is.
Next problem.
Running mkserv.
Restarting named.
Services missing from path configuration: discuss
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Done
Therefore mkserv doesn't happen at all.
here is my .services file:
tla:~/personal/mystation: cat /var/server/.services
vrt:/mit/vrt/UNIX
mail.2 1.2
:/afs/sipb/user/mhbraun/mkserv
paranoid 1.1
discuss 1.3
I believe this is why:
tla:~: ls -l /mit/mkserv/services/
total 15
lrwxr-xr-x 1 11211 3 Jun 15 1992 6.4 -> 7.4
lrwxr-xr-x 1 11211 3 Jun 15 1992 7.0 -> 7.4
lrwxr-xr-x 1 11211 3 Jun 15 1992 7.1 -> 7.4
lrwxr-xr-x 1 11211 3 Jun 15 1992 7.2 -> 7.4
lrwxr-xr-x 1 11211 3 Jun 15 1992 7.3 -> 7.4
drwxrwxr-x 3 11211 4096 Apr 26 16:06 7.4
drwxrwxr-x 2 11211 4096 Mar 18 18:46 7.5
drwxrwxr-x 3 11211 2048 Jun 15 1992 test
7.6 is conspiciously missing.
Let me kluge around it...

Hey, cool the mkserv made snmpd a link to /var/server I guess rm-ing
it was OK.
I also don't seem to have gotten the new kernel. I thought this known
bug only affected DEC5000's, sigh.
Also somewhere in the process, something rm's /etc/sendmail.cf, which
is annoying, because I'd hacked it a bit. (Fortunately I found a
backup.) However, one af the services I use may be responsible, but
it may not.
