- I'd like to shrink /usr now that I see how big it can get for 3.2,
- but following the FAQ procedure I can't get it unmounted. exec csh
- didn't help, and I don't see errdemon running (there are lots of other
- things running, and when I kill them, either they come right back,
- or my session dies.)
-
- I even tried booting the backup tape, starting it's limited maintenance
- shell, and doing getrootvg. I end up in the same condition. BTW,
- getrootvg has a section up near the start that says...
-
- #
- # Allow the user of continue to pause or do whatever
- #
- $*
-
- Maybe I'm supposed to be able to get it to stop there, in which case
- /usr would not be mounted, but I don't see how to get it to stop there.
- And I'm not sure I could do the FAQ process from the limited maintenance
- shell anyway.
-
- Any clues would be appreciated. Email responses will be summarized and
- posted. And if there's a new 3.2 FAQ with a revised procedure, then
- please point me at it and I'll be embarrased for not seeing it earlier.
-
- Thanks for reading this.
