Description Chris Roadfeldt 2023-08-17 14:42:46 UTC 
Description of problem:
On systems that contain xfs filesystems with ftype=0 set, the storage requirements for /var/lib/leapp can be unattainable or extremely high without significant mitigations put into place. This prevents most automated upgrades for RHEL 8 systems with this state. For mass migrations off of RHEL 7 and migrating to RHEL 9 before the EOL in June 24. For those systems they would be forced to stay at RHEL 8, thus requiring a second round of upgrades at a later date. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
leapp-0.15.1-1


How reproducible:
Create 6-12 xfs ftype=0 filesystems, add them to /etc/fstab, create the mount points, mount them and then attempt to use leapp to upgrade the system.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create 6-12 xfs ftype=0 filesystems
2. Create mountpoints for above filesystems
3. Add entries to /etc/fstab for above mounts
4. Mount the above filesystems
5. Attempt to upgrade the RHEL 8 system to RHEL 9 via LEAPP

Actual results:
Most likely will get an inhibitor due to space requirements in /var/lib/leapp or /var/* depending on how filesystems are laid out.


Expected results:
Upgrade completes without issue.
