/etc/init.d/finish-update (/srvd/etc/init.d/finish-update)
Has the line:
/usr/sbin/in.named
which doesn't seem to do the right thing anymore now
that we are running a different named and /etc/named.boot
no longer exists. This caused my machine to hang on
config_afs .
Also, I manually updated this machine (to a newer
version of the alpha packs) and ran into all sorts of trouble
because my / and /usr filled up somehow towards the end of the
update (while it was updating the kernel) and then my machine
rebooted, leaving me with an unusable machine. I'm not sure how
my partitions filled up in spite of the space checks in the release,
but it seems like it might make sense to update the kernel and
necessary utilities earlier in the process to avoid this
sort of problem.
Finally, I seem to have ended up with a /var/kernel tree
somehow (same as /kernel) and I wanted to make sure that it
is something that can be safely removed? Is this something that
the release created? (I may have put it there by accident when I
was fixing the problem with my unusable kernel)
