Any risk in chging /etc/conf/pack.d directory symbolic link?
We are migrating off an unsupported Stratus Continuum Model 418 PA-RISC running FTX 3.3.0. We're trying to hang on as long as possible, but we're down to 2.8% free in /, so need to free up some space until we're ready to migrate our DB.

Currently /etc/conf/pack.d is symbolically linked to /etc/conf/pack_pa2.0.d

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 12 Jul 12 2006 pack.d -> pack_pa2.0.d
drwxr-xr-x 161 root sys 4096 Jul 23 2006 pack_pa2.0.d

We have copied pack_pa2.0.d to another filesystem and want to change the symbolic link to the other filesystem location and delete the content in /etc/conf/pack_pa2.0.d to free up about 8% in /.

The files under pack_pa2.0.d have not been updated since 1995. It also looks like they haven't been accessed recently. But this machine hasn't been rebooted for more than a year.

Is there any reason we should not change the pack.d link?

Thanks for your help.

git-pack-redundant

GIT-PACK-REDUNDANT(1)						    Git Manual						     GIT-PACK-REDUNDANT(1)

NAME

       git-pack-redundant - Find redundant pack files

SYNOPSIS

       git pack-redundant [ --verbose ] [ --alt-odb ] < --all | .pack filename ... >

DESCRIPTION

       This program computes which packs in your repository are redundant. The output is suitable for piping to xargs rm if you are in the root of
       the repository.

       git pack-redundant accepts a list of objects on standard input. Any objects given will be ignored when checking which packs are required.
       This makes the following command useful when wanting to remove packs which contain unreachable objects.

       git fsck --full --unreachable | cut -d ' ' -f3 |  git pack-redundant --all | xargs rm

OPTIONS

       --all
	   Processes all packs. Any filenames on the command line are ignored.

       --alt-odb
	   Don't require objects present in packs from alternate object directories to be present in local packs.

       --verbose
	   Outputs some statistics to stderr. Has a small performance penalty.

SEE ALSO

       git-pack-objects(1) git-repack(1) git-prune-packed(1)
