You encountered this issue when the /install directory was mounted from a
nfs server, right? This is a known defect
https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/bugs/2980/
The work around is to not use the nfs mounted /install. Or set ' --setopt=diskspacecheck=0' for the yum command in genimage.

I am following this guide to do so: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Building_a_Stateless_Image_of_a_Different_Architecture_or_OS I am running into a strange issue with my new genimage node where a diskless image that is only going to end up being 700 MB in the end is requesting almost 50GB of space to install: ------------- Disk Requirements: At least 18431MB needed on the /install filesystem. Never seen this before. Is this a standard thing, or has something gone awry? Anyone else seen this before? I have moved the /install to an NFS mount with more space to see if this satisfies the requirements, but this doesn't seem right.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
