This Kbase is being generated to document a known problem regarding
disk space and Progress Installation stating insufficient disk space when you know that your filesystem has more than ample amount of space to complete the installation.
Problem:
========
If you are attempting to install Progress on a filesystem which has more than 2 gig of space available, you may encounter the following error:
Insufficient Disk Space The Installation Utility has detected that there is NOT enough disk space
to install to pathname
Required for Installation: <value> bytes
Available: <value> bytes
Change your destination path before continuing the installation!
First thing you need to do is validate that you have ample space to complete the installation. This can be don by using the Operating System Command: df
Note:
For additional information on df please reference your man pages
as well as the information in Kbase #: 13500 Insufficient disk space for Installation on UNIX
If you are installing on a filesystem which has more than 2 gig free than this is the problem. We have reported bug # 19980501-025 on this issue. The bug has been addressed in version 9. The bug had to do with the way we were handling the results from a statvfs() call we made to the Operating System.
In versions prior to 9.0, you can workaround this error in different ways:
1. You can either repartition the drive so that you have smaller file
systems to deal with.
2. You can create large files which will take up the extra space
within the current filesystem until you can get the amount of free
space for this filesystem to be less than 2 gig.
Note: If you have another version of Progress installed on this
machine, you can accomplish this task by creating a voided
multi-volume database with extents which will use up enough
disk space to get you below the 2 gig free which you
will need to complete your installation to this filesystem.
3. You could install into a smaller filesystem and then just copy
directory/files structures into the filesystem you originally
wanted.
4. You could install on another machine and then copy the files over
to this filesystem using rcp or ftp etc...
