Hello everyone,
I am almost new to unix world.
I successfuly ınstalled centos 7 on virtual box, got snapshot etc.
it is fresh new install
when I try to run 'sudo yum update'
it says '375 MB space need on / filesystem'
I searched internet
and runned 'df -h'
it says 1.8G avaliable on /dev/mapper/centos-root (325 MB on /boot avaliable)
also run 'yum clean all'
it says 2.9G avaliable on /dev/mapper/centos-root (325 MB on /boot avaliable)
then try 'yum update' again, but result is the same , space requirement error.
I cannot figure out the problem.
any suggestions
thanks.
centos 7 fresh install on virtual box
Re: centos 7 fresh install on virtual box
Hello
I had the same problem myself recently, only with a fresh install of fedora 31.
I got round it by updating in chunks
I think the problem is that there are two versions of every updated package on the system until the old ones are deleted and when it's a fresh install that's a lot of updates.
If you check the terminal output of what's being updated, try again but exclude some of the larger packages, for example if still not enough space, update various packages, I ended up doing this several times until there was enough space to run dnf upgrade without errors

Code: Select all
sudo yum update -x samba* kernel*
