[Bug 400413] New: Low disk space warning when launching some yast modules.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=400413 Summary: Low disk space warning when launching some yast modules. Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: deanjo@sasktel.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- This is a really annoying bug. YaST should not display low disk space warnings on partitions that the module will never access. Example: I have 4 drives that I use for multimedia use. I keep the drives at full capacity. When I load up YaST Software Management, it gripes about low disk space. There is no reason for that warning as it will not install anything to those partitions. There should be an option somewhere to ignore those partitions to prevent the message from repeatedly popping up. -- 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.

This is becoming an FAQ...
There is no reasonable way to find out to which partitions files will be installed. Even if we did have file lists for all packages that are not installed (which we don't have and which we won't get because of disk space and network bandwith issues), there would be no reasonable way to figure out what symlinks might point to other partitions where typically no packages get installed.
So we play it safe and include all Linunx partitions in that warning.
As for some "don't display this again" checkbox somewhere: If you have a patch that implements this in a reliable way, we will gladly apply it. If not, I don't see a realistic chance for this.
Looks like I'll be using Fedora for another semester in the school labs. Everyday more and more bugs get marked as "Won't Fix" for trivial little end-user interface bugs. -- 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.
