/var is moved to hdd, how to upgrade?

[tkalfaoglu]

Hi there. I have colosseum 1.0 installed, and I moved /var to hdd.
However, now I wonder what will happen if I install 1.1 on my dreambox?
would it still use the /var from hdd and mix up the two versions??
what is the recommended way to upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 ?

Thanks!

Are you talking about Colosseum 1 on flash and upgrading to 1.1, or do you have a flash image with Colosseum 1 installed on hard drive?

If you have Colosseum 1 installed in flash then it will be replaced by 1.1 on flash and you will have to tell it to put /var on hard drive.

Which dreambox do you have? It is not a good idea to have var on a hard drive because it makes the hard drive run continuously. It is far better to put images and var on usb or cf memory.

Jimdefruit: Thanks a lot, yes, that's exactly what I have, Colosseum on flash, and wishing to upgrade to 1.1, but I had already selected "move /var to HDD." Thanks for the good idea.
I better get a USB drive! -turgut
