rpm checks free space of wrong filesystem
Last modified: 2015-10-01 07:18:02 EDT
rpm-3.0.2-6.0 I wanted to have a quick look at the kernel source w/o actually installing it properly (can't - diskspace). My filesystems / and /C are NOT** the same! Command and result: pukeko|volker[1]:/C/umsdos/k> rpm --noscripts --notriggers --nodeps --force --ro ot /C/umsdos/k -ivh ../kernel-source-2.2.5-15.i386.rpm installing package kernel-source-2.2.5-15 needs 16M on the / filesystem Exit 1 Problem: rpm has checked the free space on the / instead of on the /C filesystem. Need to use --ignoresize.
Is your /C file system an ext2fs file system? Rpm finds space by doing a statvfs call, and that may be broken on non-ext2fs file systems.
I have no idea how to reproduce this problem and know of no other occurences.
