When I try to update I get the following error:
Code: Select all
Starting update to E.F.A. 3.0.1.9
Error: Free space on /var not sufficient to safely upgrade to MariaDB
I have over 7GB freespace of the 14GB partition....
How much free space does it need?

14GB is not very much, even if 50% full.
An extra copy of the db needs to happen for safe upgrade. You must have enough space for that.

We need about 3 times the size of your mysql DB so you probably need to increase the disk size.
See:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=516
For a quick check you could run:
Code: Select all
sudo echo "Free Space: $(df -P /var | awk '{print $4}' | grep [0-9])"
sudo echo "Mysql Size: $(du -c /var/lib/mysql | grep total | awk '{print $1}')"
sudo echo "Needed: $((`du -c /var/lib/mysql | grep total | awk '{print $1}'` * 3))"
sudo echo "Difference: $((`df -P /var | awk '{print $4}' | grep [0-9]` - `du -c /var/lib/mysql | grep total | awk '{print $1}'`))"
