Before starting your update, make note of the root partition. The command
df /
lists
the device name of the root partition. In Example 10.1, “List with
df -h
” (page 204),
the root partition to write down is
/dev/hda3
(mounted as
/
).
Example 10.1 List with df -h

10.1.2 Possible Problems
If you update a default system from the previous version to this version, YaST works
out necessary changes and performs them. Depending on your customizations, some
steps or the entire update procedure may fail and you must resort to copying back your
backup data. Check the following issues before starting the system update.
Checking passwd and group in /etc
Before updating the system, make sure that
/etc/passwd
and
/etc/group
do not
contain any syntax errors. For this purpose, start the verification utilities
pwck
and
grpck
as
root
and eliminate any reported errors.
PostgreSQL
Before updating PostgreSQL (
postgres
), dump the databases. See the manual page
of
pg_dump
. This is only necessary if you actually used PostgreSQL prior to your
update.
10.1.3 Updating with YaST
Following the preparation procedure outlined in Section 10.1.1, “Preparations”
