Resolved In-place upgrade to Onyx - Space issues /root/parallels - mount bind an option?

[s5n]

I want to perform an in-place upgrade of Plesk on a single Server from 12.5.30 Update 61 to Onyx 17.0.17.

[1] says that I had to check that "there are at least 3 gigabytes of free disk space on the server in each of the following directories: /root/parallels and /usr/local/psa and /tmp"

According to df -lh (I'm omitting the unrelated mount points)

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1            4,0G  2,0G  2,1G  49% /

I have only 2,1G on / available :-/

As I see it, resizing /dev/xvda1 is not an option.

Is it a reasonable solution to do instead the following:

• Stop Plesk.
• copy -a /root/parallels to eg. /var/pleskinplaceupgrade
• mount --bind /var/pleskinplaceupgrade /root/parallels
• Start Plesk.
• Perform in-place Upgrade
• Stop Plesk
• umount /root/parallels
• mv /root/parallels /root/parallels_old_can_be_deleted
• mv /var/pleskinplaceupgrade back to /root/parallels
• Start Plesk and happily ever after

Thanks for the help.

Hi s5n,

even that the work-around would work, you should be aware, that the necessary requirements should also be met after your upgrade, due to the fact that Plesk needs this minimum space to update/upgrade itself.

Thanks for the comment. Upgrade caused no problems.
