http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1086754 Bug ID: 1086754 Summary: Disk capacity check before Kubic Installation Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kubic Assignee: kubic-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: mikhail.kasimov@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Hello! Have tried to test Kubic on VirtualBox VM and faced with a problem of Kubic installation (see screenshot on Twitter-link below). One knows VirtualBox VM VDI disk is 8 GB by default. And the problem was that Kubic needs > 16 GB to be successfully installed. 16 GB doesn't work. 17 GB is already OK. See dialogue here: https://twitter.com/500mk500/status/977722519942762496?s=19 While Kubic is the set of pre-assembled packages with hardly constant minimal HDD requirements instead of classic openSUSE Leap/TW distro, HDD capacity is going to be much more critical for Kubic. And let Kubuc be able to check HDD capacity _before_ its installation process. Idea for Realization: ================= The most obvious way is to have an option in boot menu like 'Check Hard Disk Requirements before Installation'. And this option must be first by default and highlighted by cursor. ================= Expectations: ================= 1. 'Check Hard Disk Requirements before Installation' should start initramfs, udev and hwinfo. 2. Then to parse hdd capacity. 3. If hdd < 17 GB, then return message: "Hard Disk Capacity is %number%. You need to have >=17GB to install openSUSE KubicProject successfully". By clicking OK, system returns to boot menu. 4. If hdd >= 17 GB, then return message: "Hard Disk Capacity is %number%. You can install openSUSE KubicProject successfully from boot menu". By clicking OK, system returns to boot menu. ================= In general way, 'Check Hard Disk Requirements before Installation' is like to 'More' --> 'Check Installation Media' mechanism to its logic. Another Way for Realization: ================= Not to modify boot menu and work on hdd capacity comparison to >=17 GB on hardware detection step, when 'Installation' option is chosen. If hdd < 17 GB, then return message: "Hard Disk Capacity is %number%. You need to have >=17GB to install openSUSE KubicProject successfully. Installation is stopped. Press any key..." By user's pressing any key, system returns boot menu. ================= Please, consider! Thanks! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
