Upgrade fails from Centos 7 to Rocky Linux 8 via leapp

[jatin.bishtg4s]

We are trying to upgrade from Centos & to Rocky Linux 8 via Leapp “How to Migrate CentOS 7 to Rocky Linux 9 | phoenixNAP KB” we were successfull in few servers but we are facing error in one of our server which shows no error while running sudo leapp preupgrade.

While running sudo leapp upgrade it shows

At least 1875MB more space needed on the / filesystem.

while i have plenty of space available

df -h

I have tried various method of applying exprot LEAPP_OVL_SIZE=30720 and sudo --preserve-env leapp upgrade but the error is same, Can someone help please?

I saw the post on mattermost as well, it could well be that your filesystem ran out of inodes as suggested there, so you can check with:

df -i

also, perhaps try restarting your machine first. It may also be wise to stop the docker containers running on the system prior to attempting an upgrade.

Hey @iwalker , Thanks for the reply.

Here is the output for the above command, also i have stopped all dockers. Now i see different error.

I am not sure what to do next

df -i

Can you help

Well it is definitely a weird one, especially since approx 63GB available.

You would be better migrating your apps/data from the system and creating a new Rocky 9 install. Upgrades are not supported, even more so from CentOS 7.
