minimum disk space for an installFrom: Rudolf Sykora <rudolf.sykora@gmail.com>

[@ 2013-02-15 11:29 UTC (permalink / raw)]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to install 9front to be run from a virtual machine.
Booting 9front went ok both in virtualbox and vmware, however, with virtualbox
my host (windows) had problems with internet connection for some reason.
This was remedied by using vmware instead. But when I tried to install 9front
on a virtual drive of 2GB size, the installation failed saying something like
'no space on the device' or 'bucket full'. I looked at the (automatic)
division of
the partition, I found the parts like fscache and other had only cca 260 MB,
fsworm cca 1.5 GB. Thus I thought the space for fscache was made too small
and tried to reinstall with the size for fscache manually increased.
But the result
was much the same. Can anybody comment on my experience / help?

Thanks
Ruda

So you need 12 gigs or more minimum for 9front.

Thanks for the answer!
That seems quite big!
Why does one need so much space?!
(I do not need to store movies :))

Fine.
It says it is safe to have 12 GB, not necessary.
Then, issue 75 says it: far too many people do the same mistake as I did.
If you need >something for sure, then the installer should stop you.
Furthermore, Plan9 proper doesn't require venti and you have the
option to not run it, as far as I remember;
then the minimum requirements are rather low.

Thanks,
Ruda

well, I suggest not to expect being petted by crazy plan9 or 9front
people. KHM just meant to invite you to send a patch, thanks you're
welcome.
