I was not quite clear. In Yast KInfocenter I found the physical free memory is 507.92 MiB That does not usually matter much..if there is 500Mib free the system will work just fine.
and indeed the / filesystem is 13.87 GiB
Is 13.87GiB or has that amount of free space ? The update fails because there is not enough disk space to install an RPM..
/ filesystem has 12.78 GB in use; so it should be sufficient
Hrmmm.. that can't be .. UNLESS.. are you using BTRFS in combination with snapper ?
Maybe. Maybe not. Modern systems require /usr to be mounted at boot and many systems configure that to be part of the root file system. There is a lot under /usr that really should not be on /, that can be part of a mounted file system. There are quite a number of databases that like there, ldap, dns, mysql. There is also all the things that live under /usr/share which aren't needed at boot time, which can be put on a mounted file system. Sadly, on a 'live' system that is being updated, you can't make things like /usr/share/doc read-only. One of the advantages of using LVM is that I can create a new logical volume to use as a partition, create a file system on it, migrate things like /usr/share onto it .... Admitted this can't be done indefinitely. But there is a lot that CAN be done to offload from / Just to check: Do you have these as separate file systems? /tmp /home /srv /boot /opt You can also have /usr as a separate file system if your initrd takes care of mounting it at boo. Perhaps someone can explain how to do that. -- Information is the currency of democracy. --Thomas Jefferson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
