Description John B. Brown 2000-12-21 01:59:23 UTC
The following error message is delivered after partitioning:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line
20, in run
    rc = self.todo.doInstall ()
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1480, in
doInstall
    if self.method.systemMounted (self.fstab, self.instPath,
self.hdList.selected()):
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/image.py", line 46, in
systemMounted
    self.loopbackFile = mntPoint + fstab.filesystemSpace(mntPoint)[0][0] +
\
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 258, in
filesystemSpace
    space.append((mntpoint, isys.fsSpaceAvailable(topMount + '/' +
mntpoint)))
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 16, in fsSpaceAvailable
    return _isys.devSpaceFree(fsystem)
SystemError: (2, 'No such file or directory')

<failed>

The installation fails. No amount of variation, ie, low level format
followed by complete bad block check, or minimal to full package installs,
changes the pattern or the message. Please, this OS package will not
install and I had to reinstall 6.1.
