        Again I would like to extend my thanx to John for providing me the
solution we used.
        I would also like to extend my apologies to all here, I had sent
this question to the wrong distribution list by error. My last mistake of
Y2K!!!

Thanx All!! and Happy New Year!!






        Original Question:

Trying to download a patch kit to my UNIX box .. in the /var/tarfiles
directory...box is 5.0a .... have root_domain and usr_domain .. .the
usr_domain has two filesets => #usr and #var .... when I'm downloading the
file, it's writing it to /var/tarfiles ... but it's showing up (and filling
up) under the root_domain.......what am I doing wrong/

Thanx to John Venier for this reply:

I can't really say for sure, since it matters what fileset is mounted
as /var/ or /var/tarfiles/. My guess is that /var/ is part of / and
root_domain#root is mounted as /, and usr_domain#var is mounted as
/usr/var/ or something but not /var/. I am also guessing that you
want /var/tarfiles to be in usr_domain, and probably specifically in
usr_domain#var.

In that case, if you can't or don't want to change the filedomains,
filesets, or where they are mounted, why not make /var/tarfiles/ a
symbolic link to some directory in the domain you wish to use?

Of course, if you can and don't mind changing how the filesets are
mounted, why not mount usr_domain#var as /var/ ?

        Sol: We made a soft link from /var to /usr/var
