Tried the upgrade to 7.1 this weekend. Went worse than usual. Advice very welcomed:
On my system, OS is on a 5GB partition that Knoppmyth setup literally years ago.
Running the upgrade:
- did the package uploads for a while.... then ran out of disk space. Ack!
-script claimed because of an error there would be no upgrade and rebooted.
-on reboot, I get the following errors:
(there may be more.... goes by fast. Need to go through it closer)
"portmap: unable to change to service directory! File does not exist".
-all the services starting are set to BKGD.
-Then in gets stuck in a loop of:
Starting MMBD
Starting Samba
Starting SSH
Starting Mysql
Starting lighthttpd
Starting NTPD
fetching time.
Starting MMBD
Starting Samba
Starting SSH,
etc etc
I can boot into the Linhes-init mode. Poking around i found the pacman cache directory and cleared out 120MB of old cruft (packages dating back to 2009).
Was hoping giving the drive some space would successfully boot in regular mode-- no luck.
While the script claimed it wouldn't update because of the error, it's obviously changed SOMETHING that has broken.
I don't have time at the moment, but i'm going to dig into this more later tonight. Any suggestions welcome.
cheers - j

Found this thread with similar looping:
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22336
While i was able to open another term with alt-ctrl-F3 and stop the looping services with "sv stop <service>" it never completes the boot - it stays blocked.
Obviously missing something. Completely unfamiliar with the Arch boot process so learning as I go here....

boot
<ctrl>+<alt>+F3
clean up your / partition to make some more space (look at logs and old package files)
sudo upgrade_linhes.sh (hopefully should finish successfully this time)

you can also boot into a gparted live cd and increase your root partition. without loosing anything. Be careful though.

Thanks for the replys. Got further, but close to giving up.
Cleaned out some space. Managed to get the upgrade script to run again. Downloads packages for a while and then falls over with the wget/ssh problems others get. Fixed that.
Run upgrade script again.... then it gets stuck trying to download the wallpaper from knoppmyth.net.
I assume it eventually finished or gave up (i left it alone for a while).
Now when booting it gets stuck in a loop of
rpc.nfsd: writing fd to kernel failed: errno 11 (Connection refused)
rpc.nfsd: unable to set any sockets for nfsd
:: Starting NFSD
> using
rpc.nfsd: writing fd to kernel failed: errno 11 (Connection refused)
rpc.nfsd: unable to set any sockets for nfsd
repeat repeat....
In /var/log/messages there are more complaints about nfsd:
svc: failed to register nfsdv2 RPC service
svc: failed to register nfsaclv2 service.
repeat repeat repeat...
Thats as far as i've traced. I'm about 90% at the point of giving up. I don't have the enthusiasm to spend days trying to troubleshoot everything this upgrade has trashed. I'll give it another couple hours and then it's fresh install time. Sigh.

Thanks - i sorted a few more things but i've finally given up. The upgrade has pretty much been a disaster. Caveat emptor.
I've wiped the drive and gone for a clean 7.1 install, which is causing it's own problems. I'll start a different thread about that.
