right, I don't think we remove files for /install/*images* and
/tftpboot/xcat/*images* when user issues "rmdef -t osimage *images* "
We may able to add code to `rmdef` for images under `
/tftpboot/xcat/*images*`, because this is per image based.
# ls -ltr /tftpboot/xcat/osimage/rhels8.1.0-x86_64-install-compute
total 68712
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8106848 Feb 17 03:38 vmlinuz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 62248424 Feb 17 03:38 initrd.img
but we can't remove the package dir under "/install/*images* ", because
multiple images can share the same pkgdir
Thanks,

I think I asked a question about this a few years ago, and the dev team
said that you have to clean up /tftpboot manually.
When you make a new osimage, xCAT creates files in /tftpboot for it.
If your root partition is limited in size, you could run out of space
in /tftpboot.

Hi Cassandra, issuing rmdef will remove all the definitions about the
image on xCAT, right?
But the files will stay on the disk, and they must be manually
removed.
Is there’s anything more than /install/*images* to be deleted? Or
this is sufficient?
Thanks,

I'll have to take that back. After running rmosdistro, lsdef -t
osimage still lists the images. I had to also run "rmdef" (as
pointed out by Aaronhcarr and Casandra H Qiu).
So, in summary, what is the proper way to delete an old
osdistro that was created from copycds?
I was hoping there was a single command to do this, but it
seems it requires:
1. lsdef -t osimage | grep <DISTRO> | cut -d' ' -f1 | xargs -n1
rmdef -t osimage
2. rmosdistro <DISTRO>
Please add to this list if it is missing anything.

`rmdef -t osimage imagename ` should remove the image created
by the `copycds`
what kind of error message did u see when u run `rmdef`
command?

No, I didnt' try the -f flag because it didn't seem
like the right approach.
If copycds always creates an "install" image and
rmdef doesn't support removing the "install" image,
then "rmosdistro" will never run without the -f
flag. That seems broken to me.
That aside, it seems like rmosdistro with the -f
flag did what I expected.

Is there a way to clean up old osimages
(created from copycds)?
I tried "rmosdistro" but that fails
with the message that it is referenced
by osimages.
I tried "rmimage" to remove the
osimages but that fails with the
message that it will only delete
certain image files.
Cheers,
