From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529 Description of problem: Package Install claims 2007MB installed, but 'df' after boot shows only 1733424KB used, which is a difference of about 274MB; the difference should be almost zero. Even adding the reserved space of (2522076 total - 1733424 used - 660536 avail) = 182116KB reserved, still leaves about 92MB of missing disk space. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install "(null)" beta from another partition (floppy boot "linux askmethod" then choose "hard drive".) 2. Choose Installation Type = Workstation; install to a single partition (only root and swap). 3. Note the Total space during Package Install: 2007MB in 677 packages. 4. After first boot configuration, login and do "df". Actual Results: Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 2522076 1733328 660632 73% / Expected Results: Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 2522076 2007000 386960 84% / Note the difference in Used, Available, and Use%. Additional info:
Arrggghhhh! Probably this is just the difference in fragmentation between 4KB blocks and 2KB blocks. So, change to an enhancement request: adjust the Total and Completed sizes as you go, using stat.st_blocks on each installed file. Thus the Total size will slowly decrease when installing to a filesystem with blocks smaller than 4KB.
Deferring to next release.
