I have a physical NetSUS server we started with, and an appliance. The physical server has a 250GB drive in it and has used 106GB storing updates.



I can't rsync the data over to the new virtual appliance, because the OVF makes a 100GB drive.



Can anyone help with
a) Resizing the partition on the appliance
b) Removing the unneeded updates?

Hi,



We had the same Problems with the Partition.

Worked for me.


Perfect! Thanks. I also found a script to remove unwanted updates. Now we have plenty of space.


Bmeehan, can you post the script you found to remove unwanted updates?
Is this valid on current NetSUS?
thanks,
