Description of problem: I'm used to do this in my /etc/fstab (for ssd's => wearlevel) tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=1777,size=2% 0 0 Doing so one an box with only 2 GB RAM causes errors during kernel install, e.g. initramfs creation caused by unsufficient disk space. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-049-25.git20181204.fc29.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. put the above entry for /var/tmp in fstab 2. remount /var/tmp 3. install kernels on a box with 2 GB RAM only [*]. Actual results: during kernel update via dnf update/install kernel errors during initramfs creation and box doesn't boot with this kernel ! Expected results: dracut should check needed space before generating initramfs ! and NOT running into errors during kernel installs or an unbootable box regarding this new installed kernel [**] Additional info: [*] box, which I remote administer, was bought years ago with 2 modules a 2 GB. One module has somehow disappeared ! [**] I'm not sure if the user will be aware of this errors using packagekit (gnome-software) - I don't use it - .
