I thought I'd muse a bit, since people have been discussing this. As part of backing up a single package in "safe" mode, Oxygen will check to see if there is enough space for the package on disk. It does this by creating the package in /tmp and comparing the package size to space remaining on the disk (including space the old package takes up if any).
In the future, Oxygen will also use the /dev/backup device - which the boot process will create as a link. Normally, this will probably point to /dev/fd0u1680. /dev/backup was designed to allow the use of /dev/fd0u1440 for backups quite easily. Oxygen allows the user of the distribution to set what the backup device is - thus, /dev/backup could be /dev/sda0 for that matter. I'm not sure how this relates to Dachstein, but I thought I'd propose it. Using /dev/backup and checking free space would be a GOOD addition to Dachstein, I think... -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Unixware, Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
