An attempt to pkg image-update from snv111b to snv122 failed miserably for a number of reasons which are probably out of scope here. Suffice it to say that it ran out of disk space after the third attempt.
Before starting, I was careful to make a baseline snapshot, but rolling back to that snapshot has not freed up all the space - this on a small disk dedicated to experimenting with ZFS booting on SPARC. The disk is nominally 20GB. After "zfs rollback -rR rpool/ROOT/opensola...@baseline" from a different BE (snv103 booted from UFS) # zpool list NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT rpool 17.5G 10.1G 7.39G 57% ONLINE - space 1.36T 314G 1.05T 22% ONLINE - # zfs list -r -o space rpool NAME AVAIL USED USEDSNAP USEDDS USEDREFRESERV USEDCHILD rpool 7.11G 10.1G 0 20K 0 10.1G rpool/ROOT 7.11G 10.1G 0 18K 0 10.1G rpool/ROOT/opensolaris 7.11G 10.1G 942K 10.0G 0 68.6M rpool/ROOT/opensolaris/opt 7.11G 68.6M 0 68.6M 0 0 Before the aborted pkg image-updates, the rpool took around 6GB, so 4GB has vanished somewhere. Even if pkg put it's updates in a well hidden place (there are no hidden directories in / ), surely the rollback should have deleted them. # zfs list -t snapshot NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rp...@baseline 0 - 20K - rpool/r...@baseline 0 - 18K - rpool/ROOT/opensola...@baseline 718K - 10.0G - rpool/ROOT/opensolaris/o...@baseline 0 - 68.6M - The rollback obviously worked because afterwards even the pkg set-publisher changes were gone, and other post-snapshot files were deleted. If the worst come to the worst I could obviously save the snapshot to a file and then restore it, but it sure would be nice to know where the 4GB went. BTW one image-update failure occurred because there was an X86 rpool mounted to an alternate root, and pkg somehow found it and seemed to get confused about X86 vs. SPARC, insisting on trying to create a menu.lst in /rpool/boot, which, of course, doesn't exist on SPARC. I suppose this should be a bug...
