While I was busy reading all those packetfilter man pages,
hackett was busy compiling itself (kernel + entire
userland). This went all smooth but I ended up with the 376M / root
partition being full.
After some emergency rms and back to 4% free space,
I identified /var to be a good candidate to be
segrageted from /. However, I had no extra LVM space
left and needed another 5GB virtual disk first. In the end:
# lvm pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/rld0f vg0 lvm2 a- 12.13g 0
/dev/rld1d vg0 lvm2 a- 4.88g 2.88g
# df -h / /var
Filesystem Size Used Avail %Cap Mounted on
/dev/ld0a 376M 54M 303M 15% /
/dev/mapper/vg0-var 2.0G 283M 1.6G 14% /var
In addition to the seldom used lvm commands, this was also a
good opportunity to exercise cpio(1).
Half of the /var space was actually wasted on
/var/db/pkgin/cache pkg files. Good riddance!:
# pkgin clean
# df -h /var
Filesystem Size Used Avail %Cap Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg0-var 2.0G 127M 1.7G 6% /var
NetBSD provides a nice /var/run/rc.log about the
entire "init" stage /etc/rc has some nifty trickery to
ensure that this file is written late enough, after
/var has been mounted, too.
