Afte a crash during an update - i could not install redhat 7.0 on my intel box. The installation stop - and force me to boot my old system. Unfortuneatly I reclaim space on the root file system, as a result the old installation is not usable. How could I fsck the filesystem without using the old system ? The anaconda script waste disk space after he found that not enough disk space is available on the root file system. Multiple installations waste diskspace due multiple copies of the rpm package in various anaconda subdirectories. -> If the installation process stops due to insuffiecent disk space on the root file system, the process should clean all temporary wasted disk space. -> Other solutions for the fsck a highly appreciated !
What error do you get when you try to boot the old system? At what point in the install did it fail?
I reclaim space and delete the old kernal, so no booting of the old installation is possible - sorry. The installation told me that I need additinal 3 MB for installation, than you have no chance to abort. Your recycle again over the installation, which tell you that you have not enough space..... Clever installation script would give you a change to reclaim space ...not redhat.
I believe this is a duplicate of bug 18305. We are working on improving the estimates of free space requirements and it is an ongoing process. Thank you for contributing your suggestions on how we can improve the installer. You can use the rescue mode of the Red Hat Linux 7 CDROM to fsck the system.
