Operating Systems Solaris Contents deleted from /var/sadm Post 303004268 by drysdalk on Thursday 28th of September 2017 04:33:23 PM

Hi,

That's good, that you at least have something that can take over while you do a re-build. In terms of repairing this - I'm not myself aware of a way of doing that, sadly. The problem is that the information about installed packages and patches only lives in /var/sadm, and if it's gone, it's gone. With all the files actually being totally gone rather than corrupt or otherwise experiencing a problem, I'm not aware of any way to re-build /var/sadm, since it is itself the database that keeps note of what's happened to the system. Since there is no other record, there's nothing to re-build from, if you follow.
