[indiana-discuss] Problem updating 2008.05 to build 95

[Mark R. Bowyer]

I had this problem when I ran out of ZFS partition space, so it wasn't 
able to copy the data in the promotion.  This was on a multi-boot laptop 
with only 10GB set aside for OpenSolaris.  After a few updates, it used 
up nearly all the disk and I'm now stuck booting to the BE before the 
update, unable to activate and clean up the latest one.

I'm waiting for the next CD image, and will then repartition and 
reinstall from scratch, I think.

But check how much space you have left, and whether there's any 
snapshots you can clear out to make room?  I'd be surprised if you went 
straight from install to update, though.  How much space did you 
partition for it?

Ta,
Mark.
