I found the problem. That 1.1GB RPM uncompresses to over 12GB! RPM is reporting accurate statistics. This can be closed. |
Description of problem: When installing a 1.1G custom package, rpm complains there is not enough space on the filesystem. However, the system has more available capacity than it is asking for. The one time I was able to install this rpm was to an unvirtualized workstation. I'm not sure if this is a virtualization related issue, but it fails consistently on the KVM and Virtualbox VMs I tested on.
