available disk space calculation broken

Status/Resolution/Reason: To Fix//BugVerified

Reporter/Name(from Bugbase): Tim P. / ()

Created: 06/07/2019

Components: Installation/Config, Installer

Versions: 2018

Failure Type: Usability Issue

Found In Build/Fixed In Build: 2018 /

Priority/Frequency: Normal / Some users will encounter

Locale/System: English / CentOS 7.3

Vote Count: 0

Problem Description: When I run the installer, it tells me that /tmp doesn't have enough disk space, and that /root does not have enough disk space.  Both have more than enough, particularly because CF is already installed - I'm only running the installer in order to change the 'run as' user for the service.

It says 'please free up at least 399637 kilobytes...  

I have 2657868K free

so... two problems:
1) the math is wrong - is something using a too-small integer variable?
2) the installer should detect if this is an original install or a reinstall/repair and only check available disk space if an earlier (same version) install is not found

Steps to Reproduce:
1) install CF
2) run the installer again

Actual Result:
error described above

Expected Result:
installer runs without complaints

Any Workarounds:
uninstall and try again (??)

This was seen with the installer I downloaded on April 11, 2019. I attempted to download the installer again (to see if this issue had already been resolved in an updated installer), but the download failed to start (Chrome browser with latest updates)
