http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551678 Summary: zypper dup heavily mis-predicting used disk space Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: novellbmw@lsmod.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.23) Gecko/20090912 SUSE/1.1.18-1.2 SeaMonkey/1.1.18 As part of the testing core team, I tested zypper dup from 11.1 to 11.2 and found, that "zypper dup" used 69% more disk-space than predicted (1080MiB instead of 636). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install 11.1-KDE-LiveCD 2. run 11.1 updates 3. notice output of df / 4. follow http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Upgrade/11.2&oldid=108417 5. notice output of df / again Actual Results: 799 packages to upgrade, 4 to downgrade, 263 new, 101 to remove, 1 to change vendor, 7 to change arch. Overall download size: 846.9 MiB. After the operation, additional 636.4 MiB will be used. Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 7234296 2307212 4559600 34% / Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 7234296 3359212 3507600 49% / Expected Results: prediction could be somewhat closer to the real result. This might actually be quite hard, given the different filesystems/block-sizes and options (e.g reiserfs with tail-packing). At least zypper could tell the user that he has to expect some extra 50-70% disk-usage on most filesystems. If needed, I have full "du /" of both before and after state. Only 65MB are used extra in /var. Maybe zypper dup does not take wasted 4k-blocks of ext3 into account? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
