DetailsA user reported on the forums that pacman does not do disk space checking (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=429200 )
I propose to check the filesystem mounted on '/' on available disk space. If it's not enough for the package tarballs + extracted packages + some overhead, warn the user and ask if he/she wants to continue. (some tips on how to free disk space, such as clearing the package tarball cache could also be shown) He/she might have other filesystems mounted separately ( /usr, /var,...) so the counting will in that case be not totally accurate, but it will be better then nothing. |
