All right all you VSIDO users... I have a gift for you
In testing for a new build that
can be seen here, an issue that may have been hidden since the beginning of all of this has shown up...
A couple of awesome test users, dizzie and jedi, noticed that the size of the new VSIDO install was probably 3 times larger than ever before. At about the same time, I was seeing failures on my VM install test beds that made no sense but once I investigated further, the failures were happening because the 8 gig had ran out of space... (VSIDO install would say All Is Good, lets reboot, but there would not be a grub installed, the last step of the installer)
On a day long discussion on the #VSIDO IRC channel, it was discovered that /lib/live/mount on the new installs were 6.5 gig!!!!
Testing was done to ensure that deleting /lib/live/mount was all right (and Google indicated others with the same issue) and we can emphatically say....
sudo rm -rf /lib/live/mount
This has probably been going on since the beginning of VSIDO but with installs at 4-5 gig it was not a big deal... The actual install size of VSIDO is 3 gig before running vsido-welcome!!!
For anyone in the future, I have enhanced the VSIDO installer to remove /lib/live/mount as one of the last steps before the grub install so that this will never hit anyone again
Great thanks to jedi and dizzie for the testing (and bitching) and apologies to anyone who has seen this as an issue
Cheers!
