I have to write a script to upgrade from RHEL 5.1 to RHEL 5.2. Since each machine is in differrent state; some of them already gradually upgrade their package, some of them still in the fresh RHEL 5.1 and also the disk allocation (filesystems) for each machine is different. How to check how much free space needed so yum can run successfully? Note: During my test for fresh RHEL 5.1 to RHEL 5.2 the download RPMs size is about 1GB. I checked a free space in the root filesystem, which include /var, /usr, /opt. 2 GB free space --> failed 2.5 GB free space --> failed 3GB free space --> success So, I want to know for sure how much free space needed in order to successfully run yum command (yum update). -Nicholas- -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/how-to-check-a-space-requirement-for-yum-process--tp17425994p17425994.html Sent from the YUM - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
