如何能让8_x86_recommonded补丁包在安装时不保存旧文件？

醉里方休

在solaris 8_x86系统上打8_x86_recommonded补丁包时，被告之:
Insufficient space in /var/sadm/patch to save old files.

请问如何能让8_x86_recommonded补丁包在安装时不保存old files!


另想知道，这个补丁包在安装过程中需要在哪几个文件系统上安装文件，各系统需要预留多少空间才够用啊？多谢！

There is insufficient space in the /var/sadm/patch directory to save old files. The user has three options for handling this problem: Use the -B option while invoking patchadd. This option will direct patchadd to: save the backout data to the user specified file system, generate additional disk space by deleting unneeded files, or override the saving of the old files by using the -d (do not save) option when running patchadd.

If the user elects not to save the old versions of the files to be patched, patchrm cannot be used. One way to regain space on a system is to remove the save area for previously applied patches. Once the user has decided that it is unlikely that a patch will be backed out, the user can remove the files that were saved by patchadd. The following commands should be executed to remove the saved files for patchpatch_id:

cd /var/sadm/patch/patch_id
rm -r save/*
rm .oldfilessaved

After these commands have been executed, patch patch_idcan no longer be backed out.
