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. -- --Lee (Ward) {ucbvax,convex,gatech,pur-ee}!unmvax!lee
