[Bug 482423] New: when disk space is low, install partitionner should not make a too small root partition
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=482423 Summary: when disk space is low, install partitionner should not make a too small root partition Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Alpha 0 Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jdd@dodin.org QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.3, Ant.com Toolbar 1.1 This is probably specially true in virtualbox, because there we try to make the hard drive as small as possible (to have many). I use 8Gb hard drive. With this amount, YaST installer default partitionning is half for root and the rest for home. these 5Gb are extremely soon filled with factory, nearly all in /usr. It would be much better to have only one partition (not speaking of swap) say in less than 20Gb Hard drives. We see many of these in old PIII laptops that are still available with sometime 512Mo ram, so they run perfectly 11.1 and should run also 11.2 and 3 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- 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.

The parameters in question are limit_try_home (7GB) and root_base_size (5GB). Maybe Coolo is the right person to decide whether to change the values. -- 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.

Of course, when testing, we have nearly no data in home, but we have kernel source and compilation apps for modules. Anyway, having a separate /home for drive under 20Gb seems odd. At present day, nobody will make major data work on a so small disk, this kind of config still are used, but for small uses/configs that don't need that complicated partitionning jdd NB: I just kept the maintainship of the partition HOWTO from the LDP, so if you have any link to discussion or document of the various partition sheme, I will have use of it :-) thanks -- 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.
