Oh, and according to https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/414963/fedora-25-to-27-upgrade-not-enough-space you could also try symlinking or bind mounting /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade over to a device with more free disk space. I imagine having the upgrade packages on the root device is probably a better option if you can, so exercise caution.

So in my example, I could look at my libvirt images, or flatpacks (which I will, because I'm not specifically using any, to my knowledge.)Do you have logs you can rotate/archive from /var (if /var's on your / drive rather than its own block device / partition.)Do you have any Yum cache lying around from old major version upgrades?What's on the filesystem that *isn't* owned by a package, should it be there?On Sun, 10 Nov 2024 at 11:23, Terry Hurlbut <temlakos@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Everyone:
I have a problem upgrading to Fedora 41. After I download all the
packages and import the keys, it's telling me I need around 5 GB more
space on the / filesystem. The / system is on a partition that has only
50 GiB total, and 395.2 MiB free. (I use the GiB and MiB symbols
deliberately.) Specifically it says I need to find 4437 MB on that
system. If I have to repartition, I understand that I might as well do a
fresh install. My data is safe enough - it's on a completely different
physical device, mounted as /crypt - and another petition on the "root
device" is present with 47.4 GiB free (there's nothing on it but the
contents of /home). But I can't remember half the stuff I installed from
non-core repositories like rpmfusion, and if I have to install from
scratch, I'll lose a lot of applications. (The kernels are on /boot,
which is a 1.0 GiB partition that has more than 500 MiB free.) How can I
free up that extra space (say, 5GiB for good measure) without having to
reformat the root device for a fresh install?
