Extra files after upgrading?

[paulehoffman]

Greetings again. I just upgraded a production system from 8.0 -> 8.1 -> 8.2 with no problems. However, it looks like there are about 8 gig more files on the upgraded system somewhere. Are these left over from the moves? If so, where?

How did you upgrade and why didn't you go straight from 8.0 to 8.2?

freebsd-update, and a bad experience with updating an antique version of FreeBSD and skipping an interim step.

Freebsd-update should clean up after itself. Where exactly are the 'extra' 8GB?

Errr, that's exactly my question. "df" is now showing 8G more than it did the other day...

Never mind

I had a python script that cleaned things up, and it wasn't running because /usr/bin/python is now Python 3 and the script had print statements (not functions) in it.

You can always override it through the shebang, provided an older version of Python is installed of course.
