Dave Morley (davmor2) wrote : File system should 5% Ubuntu-image

STORY:
Filling the writable system means you can't uninstall or install apps and causes issues in the system as a whole.

STEPS:
1. Flash and boot the ubuntu-core 16 image on dragonboard
2. Run the command df -h to list the available space on various mounted partitions
3. Using fallocate, occupy all the available space on /writable partition
4. Install some snaps to occupy the remaining space to make sure df -h output is similar to http://paste.ubuntu.com/23273852/

5. There would be a point where, snap install and other snap commands would start failing with following error

EXPECTED:
I expect 5% to be reserved so the system is still usable

ACTUAL:
You can completely fill the system and then not be able to do anything with it.
