Something that should have taken four hours in the middle of the night resulted 
in a set
of patches for a primary Solaris 10 ( Update 5 ) server actually using all 16GB 
of
the /var filesystem.  In fact, almost everything is ZFS here but the root 
filesystem is 
just a big fat UFS filesystem on that server. 16GB should be enough for root I 
would think.

Not when you have a pile of zones and then need to patch.

Patch 138864-01 has been successfully installed.
See /var/sadm/patch/138864-01/log for details

Patch packages installed:
  SUNWperl584core
  SUNWpl5u

bah ...

I swear I can not catch a break this week.

Everything else is up .. but thisprimary server is down while I re-jigger disk 
space.

One moment please ...

Dennis 

ps: who would have figured that patches and 12 zones = massive disk space used 
up?
