Re: FC7 to FC8 Upgrade - fc8 needs 8KB ?

Jim,

I followed your suggestion and did updates in small chucks. I had to dance around the updating of 'f*'. I have it boiled down to just one more update, that being 'filesystem'. Is this just a coincidence that updating "filesystem" needs 8kb on / filesystem? I don't think this is a disk space issue, as I did many large multi-megabyte updates in various chunks.

Attempting to delete and reinstall filesystem would be ugly as it involves 1000+ packages.

lroom# yum -y check-update

filesystem.i386 2.4.11-1.fc8 fedora

lroom# yum -y update

After dependencies are resolved and download occurs, the update starts, but fails with these messages:

Can anyone explain what needs 8KB on / filesystem means?

Thanks,

Since upgrading all at once is limited by the amount of disk space available in /var/cache/yum you might try to do incremental updates starting with glibc and allowing it to pull in deps for the lib. Afterward you might update certain packages in a certain alphabet like yum -y upgrade "[a-d]*" and similar ranging.

You could make /var/cache/yum a larger drive depending on how your partitions are setup. The incremental upgrade is the best approach. Also upgrading in a real virtual terminal rather than a terminal within the GUI is safer. If X crashes during a major upgrade you are i for a real mess cleaning up the system.
