http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=495251 Summary: Installer calculates wrong size of the remaining space after the installation Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: herenz9@netscape.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de-AT; rv:1.8.1.21) Gecko/20090309 SUSE/1.1.15-1.1 SeaMonkey/1.1.15 When installing on a machine, where after the installation only a small amount of space will be left, the installer prints out a warning message. However, this calculation is wrong, there will be more space used on the disk! This can even lead to the fact, that the user assumes that a little space will be left after the installation, but actually the installation will not be able to finish, because all space will be used up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a 3 gig partition 2. run the installer and try to install the software (default installation) Actual Results: installer calculates, that installation is possible (some 300 megs will be left) and installs... after installation under a 100 mb are available... if you make a smaller size (2,7 gigs) installer still is willing to install, although installation will fail incomplete Expected Results: remaining size shown in installer should be the "real deal"... not some overestimate -- 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.
