[Bug 1568889] Re: OTA and u-d-f fail if image is too big for the system partition

[Barry Warsaw]

Just to reiterate; currently system-image-client can't do any pre-
calculation to decide whether there is enough space to unpack the update
or not, because there is no server information on the unpacked size.

The best we can do with the current design would be for si-client or
system-settings to parse the recovery log file after reboot and somehow
look for the no space left message.

Bug description:
  On Meizu MX4 upgrade from OTA-9.1 to OTA-10 fails.
  Upgrade downloads normally, phone restarts and starts system upgrade and after a while it freezes with strange icon (small microchip with red sign on it)

  When you turn off the phone and start it again it still presents itself as OTA-9.1 and again it founds and offer upgrade.
  Anyway some changes from OTA-10 seems to be applied, because I can see design changes, copy function in web browser etc.

  It's reproducible on my phone any time I try to upgrade. If I can help
  with output of some log, or anything else, please let me know.
