Information about required disk space when using yum update
Issue
- Disk space should be right-sized to reduce storage costs
- During a planned downtime, disk space expansions can't always be performed quickly enough due to need to follow, sometimes slow, internal processes
- Is there a way to calculate how much cache space, both for metadata and packages, a yum update will need before executing it so that
/var/cache/yum
can be tightly-sized? - This will help prevent "no space left on device" issues happening
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7
