Hi. Yesterday I upgrade openSUSE from 13.1 to 13.2. Everything works, but I have problem with. This upgrade took me a lot of space. I have left 12.3 GiB from 20 GiB! Do you know how can I clean the tmp files or something ?
???
Sounds not like a problem to me.
A full installation can easily take 7 GiB, that’s even on the lower side I’d say (depending on what you install of course). But you have plenty of space free.
You should have a separate /home partition anyway, for your personal files. Or do you only have 20GiB as a whole?
Please post the output of:
df -h
So you think ~13 GiB is enough ? Ok 
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

Maybe on upgrade opensuse install couple items I don’t wanna use. I will just uninstall them.
Yes.
And you have 877G free on your /home.

Maybe.
In particular a lot of “recommended” packages might have been installed additionally.
You might want to set the option “Ignore recommended packages for already installed packages” in YaST.
Can I set this option in zypper ? Because I don’t use YaST, only zypper.
Either use the “–no-recommends” command line switch, or set the option “installRecommends = no” in /etc/zypp/zypper.conf.
There’s also “solver.onlyRequires” in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, that’s even more drastic and also affects YaST and PackageKit (i.e. your desktop’s update applet, if you have one)
briliant. cheers mate.
Just to let you know that upgrading from 13.2RC1 to 13.2 BTRFS snapshots pre&post upgrade ate away almost all my 11GB /root, so I had to wipe them out to gain some maneuvering room:
when they recommend 20GB minimum /root on BTRFS take them seriously, even if the actual system takes some 6GB after upgrade!
We don’t know if you are using BTRFS or other filesystems with snapshot capability, so this may not be your case.
On EXT3 I have run OpenSuSE 12.2 for years off 5GB, but things keep changing.
Have fun with 13.2,

When I installed 13.2 RC1 (or was it Beta1?) to a ~10 GiB partition in VirtualBox, the installer disabled snapshots automatically.

An upgrade doesn’t change the filesystem(s) in use.
Installed 13.2RC1 on 11GB taking what the “expert partitioner” suggested, snapshots enabled by default.
An upgrade doesn’t change the filesystem(s) in use.
Of course, 13.2RC1 was a fresh install wiping what was on disk…
But the OP upgraded from 13.1 to 13.2.
I agree with Wolfi, 13G left in a 20G root should be well more than enough.
