AIX5.2

[William Jojo]

Well, the installp command will allow you to auto increase the size of the filesystem, and the 768MB is to include large logs if you should need it.

Presently on one of my production boxes it looks like this:

[exsmb:/] # lslpp -l pware.*
  Fileset                      Level  State      Description         
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
  pware.BerkeleyDB.4.4-NC.rte

  pware.MIT-krb5.rte         1.4.4.1  COMMITTED  MIT Kerberos 1.4.4
  pware.base.rte             5.2.0.0  COMMITTED  pware base for AIX 5.2
  pware.cyrus-sasl.rte      2.1.22.0  COMMITTED  Cyrus SASL 2.1.22
  pware.freeradius.rte       1.1.4.0  COMMITTED  freeradius 1.1.4

  pware.libiconv.rte         1.9.2.0  COMMITTED  libiconv 1.9.2
  pware.libtool.rte         1.5.22.0  COMMITTED  libtool 1.5.22
  pware.openldap.rte        2.3.27.0  COMMITTED  OpenLDAP 2.3.27
  pware.openssh.rte          4.3.0.2  COMMITTED  OpenSSH 4.3p2
  pware.openssl.rte          0.9.8.3  COMMITTED  OpenSSL 0.9.8c
  pware.pine.rte            4.64.0.0  COMMITTED  pine 4.64
  pware.rsync.rte            2.6.8.0  COMMITTED  rsync 2.6.8
  pware.samba-3.0.23d.rte   3.0.23.4  COMMITTED  Samba 3.0.23d
[exsmb:/] # df -k /opt
Filesystem    1024-blocks      Free %Used    Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd10opt      1048576    539940   49%     5625     5% /opt
[exsmb:/] # 


So you should be in good shape. Remember that this packaging is intended to give you a full working environment. Prerequisites are listed as:

[exsmb:/] # lslpp -p pware.samba-3.0.23d.rte
  Fileset               Requisites
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
  pware.samba-3.0.23d.rte 3.0.23.4
                        *prereq pware.base.rte 5.2.0.0
                        *prereq pware.libiconv.rte 1.9.2.0
                        *prereq pware.openldap.rte 2.3.27.0
                        *prereq pware.MIT-krb5.rte 1.4.4.1


You can try installing just the Samba bff which will auto install the prerequisites and auto extend the filesystem. That's about as minimal as you can get without building it yourself.


Cheers,

Bill
