When preupgrade finds everything perfectly aligned, it works nicely. But if something is not right, it has the potential to be a nightmare. I was testing the preupgrade in a Windows/F10 dual boot setup. The F10 had LVMs for /var and /usr in it. Preupgrade downloaded all required files and I rebooted. Somewhere along the process it said that I did not have enough space in /var; so I went back and increased the size of the LV for /var and rebooted, then once again it said I did not have enough space in the LV for /usr so I went back to increase the size of the LV for /usr and rebooted... at this point it got messed up complaining about a keyboard related module; so to be fair I'll say that maybe something went wrong with resizing the LVs. I almost gave up and thought of installing F11 directly. But, I was stubborn so I went back and re-setup the Win/F10 dual boot with a bigger VG with enough space for /var and /usr and it went without a hitch. So I pondered: (a) pregupgrade downloaded packages according to what I already had installed in my F10 setup, so (b) why not check that there's is enough disk space available *before* rebooting to start the process? or (c) is there a problem with such checks when key filesystems are in a Volume Group? I have no answers to any of my questions. My memory fails me now, but I don't remember seeing any kind of log during preupgrade as when one does a regular installs (ALT-F3 and such). A log would be most helpful for errors such as your "File not found" error. I think this preupgrade business must be handled with care. ~af -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
