Sometimes yast2-live-installer in Leap 42.3 still crash right after copying into hard disk with message about not enough disk space and proposition to use other partition, if I use automatically YaST2 proposed Btrfs-based partitioning. But there is a lot of free space in installation partition.

In the log I found this failure:

  [liby2util++] ExternalProgram.cc(checkStatus):361 pid 11033 exited with status 2
  [Ruby] modules/ImageInstallation.rb:1173 Result: 2

Which refers to the image installation at https://github.com/yast/yast-installation/blob/master/src/modules/ImageInstallation.rb#L1079

Moreover later there is error

  [bash] ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):78 /bin/cp: error writing '/mnt/etc/mtab': Netinkamas argumentas

Which is a bit strange as it's not obvious where it was called from and few lines above "Copying /etc/mtab to the target system..." is logged.


Anyway, the yast2-live-installer package has been dropped in 42.3 and is officially unsupported. Sorry...

(AFAIK the openSUSE Live media run full installation using some wrapper script, but I do not know the details...)
