db2 fixpak overwriting symbolic link

Hi All,
on db2 v8.1 for linux 32 bit redhat 7.3, when
installing fixpak6,it's overwriting the symbolic link
that I defined for the install directory, and proceeding
to fill up my root partition.

As far as I can tell, the only command in the
../installFixPak
that might do it is the rpm itself...ideas?
Thanks

Make /opt/IBM or /opt/IBM/db2 the soft link to /database. Then the
software will be installed in /database/db2/V8.1 or /database/V8.1,
respectively.

Informix recommend that symbolic links be used for chunks. These links are then used in the dbspace definition. Does this advice hold for DB2? The equivalent would be to create symbolic links for containers and use the link name when defining tablespaces. Wouldn't this allow containers to be physically moved/ renamed without having to use...
