I just downloaded the oneiric server iso, and tried to install oneiric
on a KVM virtual machine. It fails with writing the linux-
image-3.0.0-16-server package, where it tries to write some kernel
modules (.ko file). By switching to virtual console 4, I could see the
error message, which is: No space left on device.
This is in error, as there was plenty of space on all of the filesystems. All
had the btrfs, except /boot, which had ext4.
In the end, I could finish the installation by letting the installer choose its
own partitioning, and choice of filesystems.
This time around, the system has lvm, with separate filesystems for /, /usr,
/var, /tmp and /boot. And swap.
/boot is now ext2, and all others except swap are ext4.
But now, after installing and logging into the system, apt-get dist-
upgrade fails with the same error: No space left on device. Again in the
same linux-image package.
So now I cannot dist-upgrade. So it does not seem like a btrfs error to
me, since the same erroneous `No space left on device´ now happens
again. No filesystem is full, /var is only 14% full, and all others less
than that.
I think the error is somewhere in the apt system, maybe in the way it
calculates disk space, or possibly the error is in the linux-image
package itself.
I really do not understand why this bug is closed and marked Won't Fix.
After all, how is it possible to succesfully install if you simply let
the installer run its course? It will fail every time.
Seems like an extremely CRITICAL bug to me: it prevents you from
installing oneiric server.
