System updates and software installation do not work anymore since I did a ‘zypper up’ last night. The error message is:
Datei ‘/var/adm/mount/AP_0xVsne3e/repodata/repomd.xml’ kann nicht geschrieben werden. (file /adm/… cannot be written/created)
I have checked access rights to /var/adm/mount and its subfolders and they seem to be set properly. Also, since the update, the system is very sluggish and the harddisk is constantly busy.
TUMBLEWEED users should use zypper dup as there are almost no updates but upgrades for TW
Good to know, thanks. ‘Zypper dup’ produces the same error, though.
Might be some filesystem corruption.
What does “dmesg|tail” say after you ran “zypper up”?
Not necessarily.
As long as there are no downgrades and you only use the standard repos, they should behave exactly the same. “zypper dup” might uninstall dropped packages though, while “zypper up” won’t.
With additional repos, “zypper up” is even preferable as it doesn’t switch packages to versions from other repos (although it’s possible to disable “vendor change” for dup too meanwhile).
You shouldn’t use “zypper patch” though, as normally there are no patches in the Update repo, only in emergency cases.

Yep. Or full.

Should have done that earlier. /var/log/journal/… had run out of space so log rotation did not work anymore. I have cleaned the directory and everything is back to normal. Thanks!
