Deleted boot environment space not reclaiming after upgrade
-
I have noticed on the last three or four daily builds that my boot environment space does not recover after deleting the previous boot environment. After a successful upgrade, I generally delete the previous boot environment only leaving the default once I know everything’s OK. The space grows after every upgrade, but the configuration is exactly the same, yet the space keeps growing.
I haven’t actually checked anything at the CLI yet, but does anyone know the path to where the boot environments are stored? My guess is they’re not actually being deleted on the file system.

Update: these last 3 or 4 daily builds seem to take about half a gig more than they ever did before.

The BE snaps are difference files against whatever BE it was taken from. They will take up more space if the previous BE is very different. A BE generated by upgrading between daily snapshots should be quite small for example.

Hi Stephen,
This was resolved on last FRI's build when the package cache was cleared. I forgot to reply to my own thread!
