(I've cheated and called this a summary, when there was no real
question sent to list. Sorry about that.)
There is a bug in the v5.0 /sbin/installupdate shell script that
causes the upgrade from v5.0 -> v5.0a to fail. This script contains
the following lines:
FSTAB_READONLY=`
cat /etc/fstab |
while read LINE
do
set -- $LINE
for FS in /usr /var
do
if [ "$2" = "$FS" ]
then
echo $4 | grep -q "ro" &&
{
[ "$NEED_AND" ] && echo " and
\c"
echo "$FS\c"
NEED_AND=1
}
fi
done
done`
The grep in this command matches "groupquota" in the /etc/fstab file,
for example:
# /etc/fstab
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
------
#
# Mount all the system specific partitions
#
root_domain#root / advfs
rw,userquota,groupquota 0 1
/proc /proc procfs
rw,userquota,groupquota 0 0
usr_domain#usr /usr advfs
rw,userquota,groupquota 0 2
usr_domain#var /var advfs
rw,userquota,groupquota 0 2
#
I've logged this as a call with Compaq CSC in the UK and engineering
have acknowledged this as a bug. The fix is to either remove the check
from /sbin/installupdate, or to change the shell script to search for
the correct field.
Hope this helps,
-jon.
