Jeff Johnson's mail to testers-list explains the lack of support for beta1's db format, explaining my failed upgrades. Message-ID: <20000622041906.I22847.redhat.com> |
installer does about all it can, actually... it worries me that / and /tmp can have so much (relatively) free and the rebuild fail (later on, when there's not enough room for the upgrade, perhaps). Is the error just not clear and this is actually warning about room for the full upgrade? Or is the rebuild being done in the current /tmp where there's not enough room instead of /mnt/sysimage/tmp?
