Uhmm... well, no, but there might be something left over.

When I was doing an image-update last time, my / ran out of space. I
even couldn't beadm destroy any old boot environment, because beadm
told me that there's no space left. So what I did was "zfs destroy
/rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-6". After that "opensolaris-6" didn't show up
anymore in beadm list.

When something similar happened to me when updating to snv111b, I
successfully snapshotted the current BE and zfs send/recv it to a different
disk, and it freed up around 5GB. No one commented on this (a long  time ago
now), but it would be interesting to hear from the experts about the possible
aftermath of running out of space. Presumably zfs list -t snapshots doesn't
show any snapshots at all? If it does, it might be worth while deleting them
to see if there are still any uneeded files in /var/pkg.

You can set the environment variable PKG_CACHEDIR to place the cache in
an alternate filesystem.

Cool! Would you know when this feature became available?

Thanks.
