@PhoneBoy Just curious, any idea how much unallocated space (ballpark estimate) will be needed to do in-place upgrade from R81.20?

[PhoneBoy]

No idea @the_rock as I have not seen the release notes.

Why should it be different then on all other major upgrades since Gaia was released?

The unpartioned space always needs to be 1.1x the root partition.

See sk80260 for details.

Also lvm_manager can show you space reserved for upgrades.

Thanks @PhoneBoy and @Norbert_Bohusch . The only reason I ask is because customer was surprised once back in R81 version when it showed you needed almost 40 GB of unallocated space for major upgrade, but was way less in one of the previous versions, thats all.
