Hi, in bnc #331602 user says that zypper write to him that he hasn't enough free space. I look and zypper doesn't check this. But also when I looking I cannot find in libzypp if this is somewhere checked (only use of df function is in making cache). So whole check for enough free space is in rpm program or I overlook something?
zypp does not do this automatically, but the application is able to check how much space the selected packages will consume. But this requires that the repositories provide proper disk usage data (susetags does, yum does not). In case we ship .solv files for 11.0 they hopefully do include disk usage data. But rpm checks as well. In order to see how the package distributes across filesystems rpm has to analyse the packages filelist, and they do not take hardlinks into account. If you sum up the filesizes $ rpm -q glibc-locale -lv | awk '{s+=$5}END{print s} 300748755 you get ~300MB. But a lot of these files are hardlinks, thus the actual size is $ rpm -q glibc-locale -i | grep '^Size' Size : 76262588 ~76MB. AFAIK rpm stores device and inode data, so it should be possible to detect the hardlinks and compute it correctly. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres YaST Development ma@novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
