fitset
fitset(8) System Manager's Manual fitset(8)
Name
fitset - determine if subset fits on a system
Syntax
fitset [ -d ] [ root-path ]
Description
The utility is used to determine if the files in a software subset will fit on a system.
Subset inventory records are read from the standard input. For each record, the space required to install the file described in that record
is deducted from the available free space on the file system to which it would be installed. Only currently mounted UFS file systems are
used in the computations. Space requirements for files already on the disk will be modified to account for the size of the resident copy.
After all records have been read, the free space computed for all file systems is checked. If the space required to install the files would
cause any file system to be more than 90% full, returns an exit status of -1.
The utility uses to size all subsets before attempting to install them. The root-path argument is the pathname of the top directory for
the hierarchy into which the files are going to be installed. If no root-path is specified, the directory '/' is assumed.
Options
-d Enable debugging. This will make print voluminous status information on standard output. This information is the initial file system
statistics, the file system location of the file from each input record and the statistics for the file system after the space
required to install the file has been deducted.
Restrictions
NFS mounts are ignored. If software would be installed to an NFS mounted directory, it is sized against the file system containing the NFS
mount point.
The program does not detect the use of symbolic links in paths to root-path or any of the mount points. This can cause to size a subset
incorrectly if root-path is a symbolic link or a symbolic link exists in the path of any of the pathnames used with the command to mount
local file systems.
Examples
To determine if a particular subset will fit on the system, redirect the contents of the subset inventory file into For example:
fitset < /usr/etc/subsets/ULTUUCP400.inv
To determine if the same subset will fit in a hierarchy rooted at the command would be:
fitset /var/tmp/root < /usr/etc/subsets/ULTUUCP400.inv
Diagnostics
fitset: root path must be absolute
A relative pathname was specified for root-path. This path must be absolute.
fitset: cannot stat root-path (error message)
The root-path cannot be accessed. The error message provides more information.
fitset: root-path is not a directory.
Either root-path is not a directory or it is a symbolic link to something which is not a directory.
Files
Subset inventory files
