    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Primo
    • Product Version: April 2015
    • Relevant for Installation Type: Local;

    Problem Symptoms
    - The Service Pack process seems to be taking a long time (e.g. more than one hour)
    - The Service Pack process was cancelled (e.g. the command `ps -ef | grep sp.install | grep -v grep` produces no results)
    - The file space completely filled up (e.g. the command `du -sh /exlibris` file system shows 100% utilization)
    - The $primo_install_service_pack/sp.4.9.1/logs/sp.log file contains the message "The apply process failed. Please contact exlibris support."
    - The $primo_install_service_pack/sp.4.9.1/logs/apply_patch_home.log.* file contains:

    error-No space left on device
