Yes. With 900MiB, the partition is temporarily nearly full, then gets 140MiB free after cleaning, which is enough for another kernel. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Additionnall, a test today with beta1, on a 1GiB disk (virtual machine) and the "separate home" partman-auto recipe lead to failure because of disk full The minimum size for / needs to be increased (it is currently 500MiB and is not enough).

Re: Squeeze can't fit on 512MiB
* Samuel Thibault: > - Base+Standard grew from 397MiB to 491MiB > (we install libdb4.{5,6,7,8} !?, I suspect that this is caused primarily by API and ABI incompatibility, and in part by the lack of response to bug reports from upstream. Everybody who uses Berkeley DB extensively has once been bitten by a regression. Often, people outside Sleepycat and Oracle couldn't fix those bugs in a timely fashion, so the affected people stay on the version which works for them. Even upon request, Oracle does not provide individual patches for bug fixes which have been applied to subsequent major version. Their source repository is totally private, too (if they use version control at all). On top of that, while there is an environment migration strategy, it requires a lot of boilerplate code that is hard to get completely right. Few applications provide it, so you end up with risky manual migration procedures and user-visible disk format incompatible. The actual data format is extremely stable, except for the DB_HASH format, which was inferior to DB_BTREE in pre-4.5 (I think) release. However, for reasons I don't completely understand, almost all scripting language bindings for Berkeley DB defaulted to DB_HASH, so we end up with plenty of pointless disk-format incompatibility, in potentially large files containing user data where it really, really hurts. I guess that for most users of Berkeley DB, SQLite would be a better fit: thread-safe and NFS-safe by default, automatic crash recovery, a simple API with a stable API and ABI, a commitment to disk format compatibility, no predetermined limits on transaction size, and the ability to browse the database using third-party tools. In the multiple writers case, SQLite cannot compete with Berkeley DB running in the Transactional Data Store mode, and it lacks built-in replication, but how many libdb4.x reverse dependencies set *that* up correctly? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
