Yes, I just installed it, and ran it through `tee` so I could review the delete list before I passed it to `rm` (and manually edit it). There were a few configuration directories in `/etc` for non-base stuff (e.g. `collectd`'s password file, `vpnc`, etc) that I had to prune out and add to /etc/sysclean.ignore. That put a dint in the used space: > sjl-router# df -h > Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on > /dev/sd0a 129M 77.8M 44.6M 64% / > /dev/sd0k 472M 28.0K 448M 0% /home > /dev/sd0d 198M 50.0K 188M 0% /tmp > /dev/sd0f 2.3G 1.2G 1022M 55% /usr > /dev/sd0h 2.1G 324M 1.6G 16% /usr/local > /dev/sd0j 1.3G 2.0K 1.2G 0% /usr/obj > /dev/sd0i 1.0G 2.0K 974M 0% /usr/src > /dev/sd0e 209M 73.2M 125M 37% /var I can understand the update tool being conservative about what it deletes, who knows what is linked to those .so files without scanning each and every ELF binary? (hello Gentoo revdep-rebuild!) Keeping them there is definitely the KISS approach. I'm just re-running `syspatch` to see if I can get the remainder of the patches in. If this fails, I might see if I can dig up some docs on how this disklabel and ffs stuff works and see if I can teach `gparted` about it. Something tells me it's not the complicated mess that LVM2 is, and it handles that just fine. Many thanks all. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
