Question
Conversion from CentOS to Almalinux fails: At least 216MB more space needed on the / filesystem
Symptoms
  • Conversion from Centos to Almalinux fails with the following error:

[INFO] installing package pcre-8.42-6.el8.i686 needs 111MB on the / filesystem
[INFO] installing package nss-softokn-freebl-3.79.0-11.el8_7.i686 needs 112MB on the / filesystem
[INFO]
[INFO] Error Summary
[INFO] -------------
[INFO] Disk Requirements:
[INFO] At least 216MB more space needed on the / filesystem.

  • There's enough disk space available on the server.
Cause
Bug on leapp script, for reference: Sometimes the temp FS is still too small

Resolution
1.Connect to the server via SSH

2.Run the following command to set the environment variable LEAPP_OVL_SIZE to a higher value:

#sudo export LEAPP_OVL_SIZE=10000
3.Run the conversion script once again.
