I got the following error: Error unmounting hda1: Device or resource busy It occured after I got the db3 Invalid argument message (bug 11884) and after it notified me that I didn't have enough disk space to install the selected packages.
Could you please give a script of how to reproduce this bug, accompanied by the partition tables of your system.
I had this with BETA1 Verified it occurs with BETA2. It is IMHO a _very_ serious bug To reproduce 1) Custom install 2) Pick "everything" 3) Pick "choose individual packages" 4) I attempted to install to a 1.5Gb / (no other partitions) 5) It runs out of space, says I need a few hundred Mb more 6) Hit OK to "out of space" message 7) Message box appeared: "unable to unmount /dev/hdc2" /dev/hdc2 was / 8) Hit OK to error dialog 9) Hit BACK a few times and select a set of packages that fit in the space 10) Hit NEXT a few times to attempt re-install AND 11) Install dies _totally_ with "error mounting /dev/hdc2" 12) Ouch! Ouch! NOTES ===== - I'm not 100% sure, but I think it also goes wrong with a large / partition and a /usr which was too small Please mail me if it cannot be reproduced; the field will cane you guys if it doesn't get fixed for 7.0 release ;-)
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 12106 ***
this issue has been noted and marked as a duplicate of 12106 even though circumstances are slightly different, since the base cause is the installer not handling insufficient space reqs more gracefully ... thank you for your report !
This particular issue still happens in beta 3. Not reopening since this is already marked DUPLICATE.
