https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1225364 Bug ID: 1225364 Summary: [Agama][Milestone8+] Storage needs to have better min sizes for file systems Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: locilka@suse.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 875133 --> https://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=875133&action=edit YaST logs In bug #1220728 the minimal size of an XFS file system has been raised from 40 to 300 MB. Libstorage has been changed by https://github.com/openSUSE/libstorage-ng/pull/990 As it shows now, it's not just simple like that. Creating a 300 MiB partition with XFS is possible, but if that partition is encrypted, there is only 284 MiB left for the file system. And then mkfs.xfs still complains. And even if it was slightly bigger, it would not have enough space basically for anything. These minimal sizes are not visible to the user or the Installer (?). I will report another bug for the Installer (Agama) to use mounted file systems for checking the free space - if the system actually fits, but it will need to report the real free space - i.e., size without metadata/log/... I've used 500 MiB partitions. They run out of space pretty quickly. I'm afraid we might need have some better checks closer to the reality. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
