My desktop updated without a hitch... well, actually, I ran out of disk space after the download completed, so had to clear some space,
yum tries to do some space required estimates before starting the process, so its clearly got that wrong in your case here. Would you mind filing a bugreport at bugs.centos.org about this issue ? and also add details like a 'df -h' and exactly how much yum got things wrong by.
thanks
I can give a current 'df -h' but, unfortunately, I didn't write down any specifics while updating.
Here's what I currently have.
[ronb@localhost ~]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 35G 30G 3.4G 90% / /dev/hda1 97M 37M 56M 40% /boot tmpfs 502M 0 502M 0% /dev/shm
The issue came up *after* I had downloaded all the update files. My used space was 99%, approximately 230 Megs were shown available at /. There was no memory available in my tmpfs directory/partition.
I believe yum kicked me out of the update process. There were a lot of messages without line breaks -- filled up the screen. When I cleared about 3 Gigs of memory and re-ran 'yum update' it started back up where I left off and finished the updated without issue..
If you think that I have enough information to file a bug report I'll go ahead and do that.
Thanks again.
