Subject: 1.2_upgrade can die when trying to install on clients
Index: /usr/etc/1.2_upgrade 4.2BSD 1.1
Description:
If you have /usr mounted on a net-disk you get MAJOR problems, including
a messed up /usr filesystem.
Repeat-By:
Have /usr mounted on a "localhost" net-disk. Follow the instructions
for the upgrade (inncluding the caveat in the "READ ME FIRST" doc.
Fix:
Seems strange to me that SUN didn't do this as the caveat about
commenting out "localhost" entries in /etc/nd.local could be
removed as well.
Once you have the 1.2_upgrade script off the tape edit it. Find
the line that figures out the network partitions. Awk is used
and the script in the foreach looks like:
awk '$1 == "user" && $3 == 0 && $7 != -1 { print $7 }'
and change it to
awk '$1 == "user" && $2 != "localhost" && $3 == 0 && $7 != -1 { print $7 }'
Now, ignore the caveat about commenting "localhost" lines and do the
upgrade.
