While it would be possible to just remove the software, the LVM setup merges mostly unused temp disk space with the free space of the main disk, adding about 9 GB available space alone. Since these are different disks on the VM, LVM is required to do the merge.
At the moment, skipping this step is not implemented, and I also don't plan it, TBH.
Have you just tried the default for root-reserve-mb of 1024 == 1GB? Does it fail for you?
In my case, the most space is needed on the root, as I'm installing some system packages and building Docker images (well, I can change their location also). In this case, it might also make sense to skip LVM setup.
sorry for the late answer, maybe you already figured that:
the software removal is really mostly a rm -rf
on a few directories... you could add that easily directly to your workflow directly and not rely on this action.
For reference: these are the commands used for the packages "known" to the action as remove-*
:
echo "Removing unwanted software... "
if [[ ${{ inputs.remove-dotnet }} == 'true' ]]; then
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/dotnet
fi
if [[ ${{ inputs.remove-android }} == 'true' ]]; then
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/android
fi
if [[ ${{ inputs.remove-haskell }} == 'true' ]]; then
sudo rm -rf /opt/ghc
fi
if [[ ${{ inputs.remove-codeql }} == 'true' ]]; then
sudo rm -rf /opt/hostedtoolcache/CodeQL
fi
if [[ ${{ inputs.remove-docker-images }} == 'true' ]]; then
sudo docker image prune --all --force
fi
echo "... done"
Are the LVM operations required? Would it be possible to just remove the software and skip the LVM step? I only ask because I'm not sure what maximum value I should provide for the
root-reserve-mb
option. Thanks.
