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.
