Created attachment 2001779 [details] Text of the subject post on the Rocky user forum Description of problem: livecd-creator, when processing a Rocky 8 kickstart file, aborts with mksquashsf error near the end of a normal run, on Rocky 8.9. The run completes normally without a problem on Rocky 8.8. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): version 31.0-1.el8 How reproducible: Reproducible with any normal Rocky kickstart. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download one of the standard Rocky kickstart files 2. Substitute the repositories on a test machine (eg with CentOS 8 stream) for the Rocky repositories. 3. Run livecd-creator Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I now believe the problem was caused simply by a lack of disk space. The messages from the livecd-creator run showed that 6144MB was being used for cache space. The partition size for the run was 15GB, and the df command at the start of the run indicated only ~5500MB unused space was available. (There was a 4GB swap partition enabled). I've rerun the livecd-creator session in a 25GB partition, and it has completed normally. Len E.
