I don't quite understand this error that occurred during Fedora upgrade.
I did: fedup-cli --network 19, the result is:
Upgrade test failed with the following problems: insufficient disk space need 150M free on / (1.2G free) fedup ERROR: Upgrade test failed.
It needs 150 M but it states it has 1.2G available. So, is 150M > 1.2G ????

maybe it actually need 1.35G free to perform the update??
it probably needs to download lots of rpms, can you put /var/cache/yum onto a bigger partition??

I can't. Disk layout is fixed (but if all fails, I can try to mount /var/cache/yum on some USB disk). I'm doing massive cleanup now on my / (root).
This still does not explain this error message. It should tell me what is the actual disk requirement and what is available to fedup so I can compare and fix it. Now I read I have 1.2G but it failed because of not having 150M of free space.

You might have but did you "df -h /"

Yes, it confirms that there is 1.2G of free space. I've managed to enlarge free space to more than 5G, it should be enough to upgrade. I'm running fedup-cli once again.

1.2 GB is *way too less* on non-stripped-down setups
* /var/cache/yum * unpacking of packages * temporary twice allocated space for updated but open files until reboot

Now, I know that 1.2GB is too less for fedup to do it's job. After some cleanup on root partition (in my case /var is on /) I was able to upgrade to Fedora 19.
My original intention was to discuss error messages produced by fedup-cli which was misleading for me. Maybe it stated it needs 150M of free space *more*, but I don't know for sure. I must check fedup's source code.

If you remember, how much free space did you have when it worked? It might help others to know.

I think it's fairly safe to assume that that's what it meant, after the fact. If you can verify it, however, you might want to report it via Bugzilla as the current form of the message is very misleading.

It was something between 4 GB and 5.3 GB. I was also checking disk usage during upgrade and I can confirm that after all packages where downloaded I had about 4 GB of free space on my root partition. I can't tell how much more of this space was used during whole installation because it took about 5 hours to upgrade my eeepc and I wasn't that interested to stay and monitor this.

This bug was fixed 2 month ago: https://github.com/wgwoods/fedup/commit/2b72f59d44fce59c2722fa12bafe440d480d...
fedup version in Fedora 18 is outdated.

sometimes what I do is make /home/martin/yum as my /home is on a bigger partition
then symlink, ln -s /var/cache/yum /home/martin/yum
and as I say the message maybe telling you that you need an extra 150mb of space on top of your 1.2G, 1.5G + 150M = 1.35G

You may want to try this if you are still having troubles:
$ sudo fedup --network 19 --debuglog=/var/log/fedupdebug.log
this is what I did; to me, the command suggested that was relayed through the current email didn't make sense.
Hope this helps,
Richard
