Hey,<div><br></div><div>You can mount another partition to /var/cache until the update is complete ? maybe add it to /etc/fstab as well so it will still be present when fedora reboots to the installer.</div><div><br></div>
<div>Hope it helps</div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote">Vignesh</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 1, 2010 at 6:38 PM, Anne Possoz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:anne.possoz@epfl.ch">anne.possoz@epfl.ch</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
My / partition, that contains /var, has only 800 MB available and<br>
I will certainly need more.<br>
I have plenty of space in another partition and would like to use<br>
that one for downloading rpm's tu upgrade from fedora 12 to 13.<br>
<br>
As preupgrade.cli accept -c yum-xxx.conf, I tried that option including<br>
cachedir=/my/var.cache.yum<br>
but it didn't work as I got "not enough space..."<br>
(Pleaso note that the size of my /boot is already 500 MB).<br>
<br>
Question :<br>
What is the recommended solution to use a filesystem outside<br>
of /var for preupgrade and then upgrade?<br>
<br>
I goggled a lot and only found this closed bug report<br>
