[Bug 222556] New: Incorrect warning during installation "almost no disk space left"
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=222556 Summary: Incorrect warning during installation "almost no disk space left" Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 plus Platform: i586 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: richard.bos@xs4all.nl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com During the installation of suse-10.2b2 I get a warning stating: "almost no disk space left". This is after the insertion of disk-3. During the installation I partitioned the disk, I choose the standard installation with kde and gnome added to it: The calculated results is than (most important partitions): - /usr: 46% - /opt 45% - / 38% That seems more than enough free left on the system, for the installation. So, why does the yast complain about lack of diskspace. It is very confusing as I can continue the installation without problems. It looks like OpenOffice is the culprit package.

There are only 140 MB left. You'll get that warning if any file system gets filled up to 90% or more and those remaining 10% are less than 90 MB. I can't tell from the logs exactly which package triggered that warning, but only 301 MB for / looks awfully small to me. You don't need that much to get that filled; just think of all the stuff that may go to all kinds of subdirectories in /etc. For example, I have 6.4 MB in /etc/opt, 2.7 MB in /etc/X11, 2.7 MB in /etc/cups, 2.3 MB directly in /etc. That makes 21.0 MB total in all of /etc. If you get that warning, there is very likely a good reason for it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I can't tell from the logs exactly which package triggered that warning, but only 301 MB for / looks awfully small to me.
I have used this setup for quite some years and never got this warning. I adapted a previous arrangement as that was too smalll to have the kernel updated.
You don't need that much to get that filled; just think of all the stuff that may go to all kinds of subdirectories in /etc.
I have 58 MB in /etc/ and /bin is 7.1 MB and /boot is 7.8 MB. 300 MB is plenty of room for "/", especially after the installation as I have 140 MB left.
Well, /mnt is where the new / (root) file system is mounted. There are only 140 MB left. You'll get that warning if any file system gets filled up to 90% or more and those remaining 10% are less than 90 MB.
So 90% of 300 M is 270M. 140 MB is currently available: 270 - 140 = 130 MB. So there should be a package that uses more 130 MB of diskspace? # for i in $(rpm -ql OpenOffice_org); do [[ -f $i ]] && ls -l $i; done | awk '{total += $5 } END {print total}' 283622759 With is the same as: # rpm -q --qf "%{SIZE}\n" OpenOffice_org 283694447 Now let's how much is installed in /usr: # for i in $(rpm -ql OpenOffice_org | grep /usr); do [[ -f $i ]] && ls -l $i; done | awk '{total += $5 } END {print total}' 283578968 I assume that when I increase the "/" partition with 150MB (that means it size should become 300 + 150 = 450 M), the error won't be there. But this is hiding the root cause, isn't? Yast (or the tool that generates the error) is looking at the wrong partition, and is therefor giving this incorrect error message. But this is strange as the error, I believe, occurs before packages are really installed. I don't know who the calculation is done before the packages on the CD(3) are installed. Can anything be said about that? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=222556 ------- Comment #4 from richard.bos@xs4all.nl 2006-11-22 01:06 MST ------- Something weird is going on indeed; I'm trying to install mediawiki, that requires some other pkgs. So I select these with yast, with comes with the message that / root will be occupied with more than 157% of diskspace. See attachment. The dependent packages are: cjk-latex-4.5.2-237.i586.rpm freetype-tools-1.3.1-1188.i586.rpm gd-2.0.32-44.i586.rpm latex-ucs-20041017-26.noarch.rpm te_latex-3.0-52.i586.rpm tetex-3.0-52.i586.rpm I installed those in /usr/tmp/install and the resuls is: # ls -1 | grep -v rpm etc sbin usr var Those directories require: 124K etc 20K sbin 212M usr 9,0M var So "/" gets only 144K (etc + sbin). The rest is stored in /usr (has 766 M free) and /var (which has 1.3GB) free. The only thing is that a check for the installed files (in /usr/tmp/install), that some files are missing: etc/texmf/ls-R etc/ttf2pk etc/ttf2pk/ttfonts.map usr/bin/ttf2bdf usr/bin/ttf2pfb usr/bin/ttf2pk usr/bin/ttf2tfm usr/bin/ttfbanner usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools/freetype-tools-doc usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools/freetype-tools-doc/ttf2bdf usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools/freetype-tools-doc/ttf2bdf/README usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools/freetype-tools-doc/ttf2pfb usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools/freetype-tools-doc/ttf2pfb/TODO usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools/freetype-tools-doc/ttf2pk usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools/freetype-tools-doc/ttf2pk/BUGS usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools/freetype-tools-doc/ttf2pk/dvidrv.doc usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools/freetype-tools-doc/ttf2pk/README usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools/freetype-tools-doc/ttf2pk/TODO usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools/freetype-tools-doc/ttf2pk/ttf2pk.doc usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools/freetype-tools-doc/ttfbanner usr/share/doc/packages/freetype-tools/freetype-tools-doc/ttfbanner/README usr/share/man/man1/ttf2bdf.1.gz usr/share/man/man1/ttf2pk.1.gz usr/share/man/man1/ttf2tfm.1.gz usr/share/texmf/ls-R usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/Big5.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/ET5.enc usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/EUC.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/SJIS.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/T1-WGL4.enc usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/ttfonts.map usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/UBg5plus.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/UBig5.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/UGBK.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/UGB.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/UJIS.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/UKS.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/Unicode.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2pk/VPS.rpl usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm/Big5.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm/ET5.enc usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm/EUC.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm/SJIS.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm/T1-WGL4.enc usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm/UBg5plus.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm/UBig5.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm/UGBK.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm/UGB.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm/UJIS.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm/UKS.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm/Unicode.sfd usr/share/texmf/ttf2tfm/VPS.rpl var/cache/fonts/ls-R var/lib/texmf/db/ls-R var/lib/texmf/doc/helpindex.html var/lib/texmf/ls-R However, most of these are in /usr and only a few are in /etc and /var.

The second problem is that the test code is: disk_usage + 2 * pkg_size > disk_capacity So the package size is doubled (which is correct if the installation source is a FTP/HTTP source - the package must be downloaded to the local disk before installation), but if no download is required (e.g. NFS, CD, local source...) then its wrong.
