Bug#679339: debian-installer: ENOSPC on /var after autopartioning with separate partitions
Package: debian-installer Version: 20120626 Severity: normal Hi folks, for a mixed English/French expert install, I picked a 2 GB disc in VirtualBox, selected automated partitioning, with separate partitions, on top of unencrypted LVM, if that matters. This resulted in: | /boot: 230M | /home: 420M | /tmp : 28M | /usr : 590M | /var : 340M Even with just “Standard utilities” being selected, the installation tried to proceed and /var went ENOSPC. Maybe we should have some countermeasure to prevent from even trying? (I reckon expert install might mean fewer controls. I would have to check whether normal installs are also affected. I'd be happy if somebody tries to reproduce this issue.) Mraw, KiBi. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
