Installation of Red Hat Satellite fails with "ERROR: Not have enough free space on /rhnsat/data/rhnsat"

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • I am reinstalling our Satellite since it did not survive the 5.5 upgrade
  • In the Installation Guide there is a mismatch in the required size on /rhnsat
  • It states there should be at least 12 Gb of free space (page 20), but the installer needs at least 15 Gb
  • See the output of /var/log/rhn/install_db.log below:
ERROR: Not have enough free space on /rhnsat/data/rhnsat

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite 5.5
