Disk space warnings during installation
Last modified: 2007-02-07 12:14:15 UTC
When I got a disk space warning during installation, I switched to the console and freed some space to be able to continue. But due to bug #157011 the partition filled up again, and this time YaST didn't warn me in advance. Only when the root file system fas so full that rpm failed to install another package, I got notified again. I think YaST should re-check the disk space when the continue button is hit after a space warning has popped up, and if there is more space than before, it shouldn't treat the warning as already overridden when the limit is hit the next time. Only if the disk space hasn't changed significantly or the user has selected some "don't bring up this warning again, I know what I am doing" option, it should silently continue until RPM fails the hard way.
Yast underestimates the space needed by a manual package selection ================================================================== I tried to install on a 4Gig Partition. I changed the package selection by hand. Every change updated the bottom left free space indicater. In the end, it showed 78% used space. Installation succeded until the kdm login. Start of kde after login failed. Reason: Disk was nearly full. After deinstalling some packages kdm-Login was possible. In another where Yast said 90% used, installation failed with "no space left". Bottom line: _Yast underestimates the space needed by a manual package selection_
That comment is not really related to this enhancement request. Please file it as a separate bug report.
Entered Comment #1 as Bug #194089 as asked for.
Fixed in yast2-packager-2.15.4 - there is "Do not show again" check box.
