Thanks for pointing this out. > Adding the above information to all bug reports probably doesn't make > sense. If this sounds reasonable, we can mark this bug as wontfix. Well, my main point is that a lot of package maintainers, I suspect, may not know exactly how their packages behave with a full disk. I, for one, wouldn't know which packages to add this check in. So I would probably end up adding it to all of them. I suspect that a lot of my packages would fail in mysterious ways if the root partition was full. I guess this bug report is about whether or not it makes sense to make this the default. I think it does because a full root partition is likely to make any package fail. At least I think we could show the free disk space in the root partition (perhaps only show it if it's below a certain threshold). Something like: Root partition has only 10 MB left of free space. Doing that way, with a threshold would reduce the clutter in bug reports, but still display a piece of information that could be very useful. What do you think?
