There is a maximum size for the root partition that can be set in a product's control.xml file. For example, this is the relevant section of that file for SLES-12 SP2 (Leap 42.1 might be somewhat different, but certainly similar): <partitioning> true 5GB 40 3GB 10GB false 15GB 25GB 300 <!-- the default subvolume "@" was requested by product management --> @ </partitioning> Those parameters interact with each other, and some are treated differently for example if the root file system is Btrfs (in this example there is a 300% increase in that case to make room for Btrfs snapshots). The general idea behind holding back free space in case of an LVM installation is to have some spare disk space for additional LVM physical volumes that can be used for additional LVM volume groups. I am not the one to decide if this is a good or a bad idea, but that was requested as a feature by product management a long time ago. And it's configurable per product via this control.xml file. Bottom line: This is the intended behaviour. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
