Insufficient disk space for Installation on UNIX
Problem: During the Installation of the PROGRESS product,
PROGRESS raises an error condition indicating
insufficient space for installation.
UTILITIES : df - report free disk space on file system
fstab - filesystem table
cat - concatenate and display
du - display the number of disk block/directory
HELP: man -M /usr/man df
man -M /usr/man fstab
man -M /usr/man cat
man -M /usr/man du
Example: Customer is installing PROGRESS in /usr/dlc. How do
they know what the available disk space is?
Solution: df -ai /usr/dlc or df -ai /usr
This will provided the available space on the UNIX
FileSystem /usr/dlc. If /usr is a directory off of
the root slice ("/") , the utility will display
the available information for the slice that you
will be consuming disk space from. The utility may
not resolve soft or hard "symbolic links".
(See man page on df)
Troubleshooting the problem can be done with the
"df" command , the "du" command , or by
concatenating and displaying an asci file
"/etc/fstab". The /etc/fstab file contains entries
for filesystem and disk partitions used by the
mount command at boot time. Below is an example
of an /etc/fstab file. (See man page on fstab for
descriptions of each title below).
