Description of problem:

Doing a text mode kickstart install and the system simply shutdown after package selection.  Adding nokill allowed me to see at the end of packaging.log:

21:40:40,339 ERR packaging: Installation failed: PayloadError('Not enough disk space to download the packages.',)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
24.1-1

Expected results:
System should display error message and wait for response.

Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2016-04-15 22:16:58 UTC
Sorry, anaconda version is 24.13.3-1

I'll also note:

21:40:37,539 INFO packaging: 4030 packages selected totalling 18.02 GiB

While it looks like the installed system was 15GB including the 3.8GB for /dnf.package.cache.  Good to be conservative, but that seems a little excessive.

Comment 3 Jiri Konecny 2016-04-18 11:06:05 UTC
Hello Orion,

yes the check is not perfect but we don't have all the information we need to get exact required space in the installation environment. This new space check is now based mostly on the rpm space check and limited knowledge of FS. But because we don't have all the information, we are using worst case scenario for both of these in the missing parts.

In your use-case your base install is 15GB which means there is 17% of space left for your running system. Which is not so much from my point of view.

If you think this amount of free space is too much for you, please fill another bug.

Thank you for bug reporting,
Jirka

Jirka - I've filed bug #1328151 for the disk requirements issue.  Thanks.

Still seeing the system shutdown if there is not enough space with 25.20-1.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 20:33:31 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2017-08-08 14:15:11 UTC
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
