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-index-pack
GIT-INDEX-PACK(1) Git Manual GIT-INDEX-PACK(1)
NAME
git-index-pack - Build pack index file for an existing packed archive
SYNOPSIS
git index-pack [-v] [-o <index-file>] <pack-file>
git index-pack --stdin [--fix-thin] [--keep] [-v] [-o <index-file>]
[<pack-file>]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a packed archive (.pack) from the specified file, and builds a pack index file (.idx) for it. The packed archive together with the
pack index can then be placed in the objects/pack/ directory of a git repository.
OPTIONS
-v
Be verbose about what is going on, including progress status.
-o <index-file>
Write the generated pack index into the specified file. Without this option the name of pack index file is constructed from the name of
packed archive file by replacing .pack with .idx (and the program fails if the name of packed archive does not end with .pack).
--stdin
When this flag is provided, the pack is read from stdin instead and a copy is then written to <pack-file>. If <pack-file> is not
specified, the pack is written to objects/pack/ directory of the current git repository with a default name determined from the pack
content. If <pack-file> is not specified consider using --keep to prevent a race condition between this process and git repack.
--fix-thin
Fix a "thin" pack produced by git pack-objects --thin (see git-pack-objects(1) for details) by adding the excluded objects the
deltified objects are based on to the pack. This option only makes sense in conjunction with --stdin.
--keep
Before moving the index into its final destination create an empty .keep file for the associated pack file. This option is usually
necessary with --stdin to prevent a simultaneous git repack process from deleting the newly constructed pack and index before refs can
be updated to use objects contained in the pack.
--keep=why
Like --keep create a .keep file before moving the index into its final destination, but rather than creating an empty file place why
followed by an LF into the .keep file. The why message can later be searched for within all .keep files to locate any which have
outlived their usefulness.
--index-version=<version>[,<offset>]
This is intended to be used by the test suite only. It allows to force the version for the generated pack index, and to force 64-bit
index entries on objects located above the given offset.
--strict
Die, if the pack contains broken objects or links.
NOTE
Once the index has been created, the list of object names is sorted and the SHA1 hash of that list is printed to stdout. If --stdin was
also used then this is prefixed by either "pack ", or "keep " if a new .keep file was successfully created. This is useful to remove a
.keep file used as a lock to prevent the race with git repack mentioned above.
