Hi, all, When I upgraded some of our machines from 6.x to 7.2 I noticed that the root filesystems seemed to fill up.
I thought this might come from makeoptions DEBUG=-g in the kernel config, but somehow that doesn't make sense, since our older systems have the same option present. 6.3-System: ----------- makeoptions DEBUG=-g $ du -sk /boot/kernel 27920 /boot/kernel No *.symbols files in /boot/kernel. 7.2-System: ----------- makeoptions DEBUG=-g $ du -sk /boot/kernel 214778 /boot/kernel Lots of those files filling /boot/kernel. On a current server with 512 MB /, the filesystem is at 97% after installing a new kernel twice. Can I get rid of these files somehow or are they necessary, in which case I will need way bigger root filesystems? I mean, get rid automatically and never install them again. I know the chflags and rm commands ;-) But then the question of they are needed is still open.
