Bitrock, Can you please review and comment/correct? Thanks.

The installer checks the free space and it compares to a defined value. The default value is 275M for Unix platforms and 255M for Windows platforms. We have verified that the size of a MySQL Monitor 2.1 installation directory is about 820M. It seems that the cause of this increase is the size of "mysql/data/ib_logfile0" and "mysql/data/ib_logfile1". Could you send us the new size values to check the free disk space during the installation?

Here's the amount of space we take for recent versions of the Service Manager: OS 2.0.5 2.1.0 -------------------- ------- ------ Mac OS X 1.12 GB 752 MB Linux 32-bit 1.20 GB 813 MB Linux 64-bit 1.18 GB 831 MB Solaris SPARC 64-bit 1.24 GB 924 MB Solaris x86-64 1.20 GB 863 MB Windows 1.12 GB 674 MB So I suggest that we require 1.3 GB free space for a 2.0 installation and 1 GB free space for a 2.1 installation. As a side note, 2.0 takes more space than 2.1 because we included "innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:500M:autoextend" in my.cnf in 2.0, whereas in 2.1 we let that default (to 10M) and use innodb_file_per_table.

Seems like there are two issues left to resolve: 1) The unattended install should stop when there is not enough disk space. 2) Regarding the "There are 1024MB of free space, but at least 1024 MB are needed" message, perhaps you're doing a simple ">" than check when you should be doing ">="?

An entry was added to the 2.1.0 and 2.0.6 changelogs: The MySQL Enterprise Monitor installer failed to install correctly due to insufficient disk space, even though the installer calculated there was suffcient disk space for the installation. This was due to the installer having out of date information regarding disk space requirements.
Description: Tried installing the monitor on RHEL5.3 on the following partition: /dev/mapper/vg1-mysql 1008M 34M 924M 4% /opt/mysql Install went fine until the end when the following message was received: Error: Error running /opt/mysql/enterprise/monitor/mysql/bin/mysql --defaults-file=/opt/mysql/enterprise/monitor/mysql/my.cnf -S /opt/mysql/enterprise/monitor/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock -u root -D mysql -e "update user set Password = PASSWORD('XXXXXXX') where User = 'root'; update user set User = 'service_manager' where User = 'root';delete from user where User = '';flush privileges;" : ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/mysql/enterprise/monitor/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) This was solved after doubling the disk space on that partition. It seems that the package does check for disk space constraints but does not calculate then correctly: "Not enough space left on disk. Please note that the installation requires at least 275 MB of free space. Do you wish to continue? [y/N]: N " How to repeat: Fresh install on a partition with 924M free disk space (see above). Suggested fix: 1) Calculate the needed disk space correctly taking into account any space needed for temporary installation files 2) Specify disk space needed in requirements at: https://enterprise.mysql.com/monitoring/
