Luc,

Glad that you have been able to fix the issue.

This is a known bug that we have fixed in our next release. Can you tell us how didn you fix this? This will help the community.

The workaroud we know is as follows:
===============================
Edit /opt/vertica/oss/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vertica/network/SSH.py on node and goto line 1982. Change the command: 

df /tmp | tail -1 | awk '{print $4}' 

to 

df -P /tmp | tail -1 | awk '{print $4}'

Hi Pravesh, I applied the workaround that you describe, I found it in the problem area. Regarding the upgrade script, I also have one remark, it’s not really a bug, but I think it can be improved. The script asked many times for a password, without specifying the nature of this password (root, dbadmin, database ?). What was strange also is that at one point, I got the prompt below: Password:password:password: I blindly entered 3 times the dbadmin password, without being sure this was the correct answer…, and apparently it finally worked. That’s it. Regards, Luc
