[Bug 873409] Re: Ubuntu 11.10 luks+lvm+btrfs install fail

[Bob Schmertz]

I have followed up with the dpkg command with the -D10 option (why is it
always the kernel headers?), followed by a repeat of the apt-get install
-f command (again this is on an already installed system), and I got the
same results as Jan.  Now everything is sunshine and rainbows and
kittens on my system.  Thanks for the tip!

Title:
  Ubuntu 11.10 luks+lvm+btrfs install fail

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I try my standard setup since Natty (sorry for my bed English):
   /boot 150Mb as ext3
   LUKS as a PV 
    LVM with
     lv-root (~10G)
     lv-home (all the free space)
     lv-swap (~1Gb)

  At a hardware level I have tried various machine with both SSD (Intel X-25M 
  160Gb, OCZ Vertex 3 60Gb) and some platter disk.

  Step to reproduce: download alternate-amd64 install cd, put onto a usb stick,
  boot with it and install (loaded "donwload installer, parted and squashfs").
  Partition as described above and before install the base system open a shell
  (Alt+F2, <enter>) and remount both root and home with, if you are on an SSD:
   mount -o remount,compress,discard,ssd,space_cache /dev/mapper/...
  or if you are on a platter disk use:
   mount -o remount,compress /dev/mapper/...

  Now install the base system.

  If you go back to the shell and take a look at /var/log/syslog:
   grep "No space left" /var/log/syslog
  you'll see that linux-headers-3.0.0-12_3.0.0-12.20_all.deb fail to install
  due to "No space left on device"; of course if you take a look a df you'll
  see you have all the space you need... Also if you put a static df with -i
  support you'll see that you aren't run out of inodes...

  Installer continue without complain to user setup and mirror setup and 
  finally fail when try to install the rest of the system.

  Choose linux-image-generic instead of linux-generic doesn't matter, same
  choose not to download installer and not to load squashfs.

  From /var/log/syslog (italian localisation, sorry):
   Oct 13 13:38:13 in-target: Estrazione di linux-headers-3.0.0-12 (da .../linux-headers-3.0.0-12_3.0.0-12.20_all.deb)...
   Oct 13 13:38:29 in-target: dpkg: errore nell'elaborare /media/cdrom//pool/main/l/linux/linux-headers-3.0.0-12_3.0.0-12.20_all.deb (--unpack):
   Oct 13 13:38:29 in-target:  impossibile installare la nuova versione di "/usr/src/linux-headers-3.0.0-12/arch/ia64/sn/include/ioerror.h": No space left on device
   Oct 13 13:38:29 in-target: No apport report written because the error message indicates a disk full error

  Full log attached, no idea on how to circumvent.
