DESCRIPTION

15       Running  this  script is necessary if you are upgrading from RHN Satel‐
16       lite 5.2.  If you're upgrading from RHN Satellite 5.3, this step can be
17       safely skipped.

21       kstrees \ --debug

27       current  size of your filer and the speed of your hardware. Assume 60 -
28       120 GB / hour.
