Problem:

The installation on the Linux may fail when Disk space is being checked if the install drive has a very long name.

For example: 

Output with long name:

     # df -k /opt

    Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

    /dev/mapper/vg_node1-lv_root 47098232 5002120 39703640 12% /

 

Usual expected output

     # df -k /opt

    Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

    /dev/root  47098232 5002120 39703640 12% /

Resolution:

 Please log on as root on the Linux machine and execute the following steps to work around the problem:

1. Type ./setup_<installation_name> to extract the installation files

2. Type cd VisualCOBOL2.1

3. Edit install.sh and comment out the line  “CheckDiskSpace "$INSTDIR"” so CheckDiskSpace function is not called.

4. Save install.sh

5. Then run install.sh with same command line arguments as ./setup_<installation_name> would have been.  (Script has to be run as root as it won’t prompt for root password)
