[SOLVED] Trying to compile kernel but running out of disk space

Hi,
I swear I searched for a solution before posting.
I'm trying to install a Zen Kernel from AUR using yaourt but the process is failing because I'm running out of disk space.
I guess it's using /tmp to build.
How can I use some directory in my /home folder that has more space available?
Best regards

Hi, you can use "yaourt -G <PKG>" to download the sources, then run makepkg inside the downloaded directory, then "pacman -U <PKG>" on the built package. or change TMPDIR in /etc/yaourtrc.

    Run_Esperanza how much space do you still have available on your primary drive?  It is possible to customize the installation destination within the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  You can find more details at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
    Please be aware that you will need disk space on the primary drive to installed shared components plus contain the temporary files for installation.

  • ITunes says I'm running out of disk space but I have plenty

    I'm running iTunes 5.0.1.4 and save my ripped files to a 80 Gig Maxtor external hard drive. When I do a directory of that external hard drive, I see 40+ Gig free.
    (I have about 700 albums which totals about 700 * 50 Meg per album ~ 35 Gig). However when I rip my CDs, iTunes is complaining that I'm running out of disk space.
    Any ideas what's going on?
    Thanks,
    Ted

    What's the exact message?
    Do you always have your ExHD turned on before you fire up iTunes? Cuz if not, it defaults back to C: drive and maybe that is the drive low on room.

  • Running out of disk space on root partition

    Hello,
    I'm running gnome 3 and every time I boot and logon with my user I'm getting a warning that my root partition is running out of disk space (~350MB free out of 7.5GB). This seems really strange to me since I've not installed very much software. I've got a 1TB hard drive and the big things are stored in my home directory.
    # df -h
    outputs:
    Filesystem size used free used% mounted
    udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
    run 10M 168K 9,9M 2% /run
    /dev/disk/by-uuid/072ba75b-a418-4795-ac0b-965815573010 7,3G 6,6G 357M 95% /

    /dev/sda1 99M 17M 78M 18% /boot

    /dev/disk/by-uuid/072ba75b-a418-4795-ac0b-965815573010 seems a little bit odd to me there although I don't have much experience using linux based systems.
    # ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/072ba75b-a418-4795-ac0b-965815573010 -l
    # lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 (...date and time ...) /dev/disk/by-uuid/072ba75b-a418-4795-ac0b-965815573010 -> ../../sda3
    and tab completion lists the files of my home directory. What's going on here?

    What ?? That's the first I have heard of this. What programs fail? Any examples?
    With sysvinit in Arch, this isn't such a big problem, but we're slowly starting to see evidence that this is becoming a worse and worse idea. In particular, if you set a non C locale for daemons, you will not be able to shut down cleanly, as mount(8) is trying to reference files in the locale cache (on /usr) and can't unmount /usr.
    Example bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25149
    If you're using systemd, /usr on a separate partition is flat out not allowed. We're getting into the realm of filthy hacks ahead in order to try and support this -- see Tom's late comments in the above bug report.
    Oh, and be on the lookout for a cache cleaning util in pacman-contrib (name pending):

    That means that the disk is almost full.  Unless you free up some space  soon, your operating system will begin to behave strangely and eventually will no longer boot into Windows.
    Windows operating system uses part of the capacity of the hard disk for virtual memory. A good rule of thumb is to never come to within 15-20% of the hard disk's capacity.

    iTunes prefs - Advanced.
    Set the *iTunes media folder location* to the external drive.
    Make sure *Keep iTunes media folder organized* and *Copy files to iTunes media folder ...* are both checked.
    Then go to iTunes menu File > Library > Organize library - Consolidate.
    This will copy everything in iTunes to the new location.
    After it is complete, quit iTunes then delete \Music\iTunes\iTunes media\ folder.

  • Running out of disk space - IGS Log Trace

    Hello,
    for a few weeks we are continuously running out of disk space on our CE7.2 Application Server.

  • How do I recover iMovie files corrupted by running out of disk space?

    I've been using iMovie HD 6.0.3 to create recordings using a webcam from time to time. Usually I just leave the camera on during presentations. On two different occasions I ran out of hard disk space, and have been unable to playback the videos I've recorded. One is very important and I'd like to save it if at all possible. The video data is definitely on the hard drive (I have a 9 gig file), however, attempts to play it using Quicktime Pro or iMovie fail. iMovie acts as if the movie contains no data even though over 2 hours were recorded. (Quicktime Pro responds with a Mac OS Error -1409)
    Apparently if iMovie runs out of disk space during a recording, it is unable to save or later recover the file properly. While it seems to store the video data, perhaps the file is missing some sort of critical markers or pointers.
    Does anyone know of a way to recover the video from this file? Perhaps there is a tool to somehow pull the video stream out of the corrupted file that was saved by iMovie?
    Please let me know if you have any ideas! It is very important that I recover these files. Thanks!

    Hi QuakingBog - What happened when you discovered this situation?
    1. There was an error displayed on the screen saying it was almost out of disk space.
    Did iMovie remain open, with the file showing in the Clips Pane or Timeline?
    2. The clip I was recording went from showing the image which was on the camera and elapsed time (which had been over 2 hours just before then) to showing just black and showing a total record time of 0:00 as soon as it ran out of disk space. Even though lots of data was recorded, it went back to looking as if nothing was recorded.
    I would be surprised if iMovie 'saved' it of its own accord (it has no auto-save feature). Did you hit Save? If there is a 9 GB file, then obviously somehow something was saved.
    3. Yes, I hit save. I also hit "Save As" after this and saved it to an external hard disk with more free space as well. I can't get anything to play from either place.
    Have you checked within the project 'package' to see if there are any files actually saved? To check, Control-Click on the project (with the star on it), and select Show Package Contents. Anything in the Media folder? Look for a .mov file in one of the folders - does it play?
    4. Yes, there are files in there. There is a Clip 01.mov that is 9.29 gb, but it won't open or play.
    In cache there are...
    Timeline Movie.mov 8KB
    Thumbnails.plist 4K
    Timeline Movie Data.plist 4K
    In media there is also...
    My Great Movie~ 4K

    Any further suggestions would be very appreciated based upon this additional information. Thanks for helping!

  • Iphone: You are running out of disk space

    I have 7.3 Gb free disk space but sometimes the iphone shows error message
    " Warning: You are running out of disk space. Please delete some photos or videos."
    any idea ?

    If you have 7.3 GB of available free space on your iPhone, this indicates you have not transferred any data from your computer to your iPhone except for maybe contact information, etc.
    Since you have no data to speak of available on your iPhone, the standard troubleshooting steps in order are power the iPhone off/on, Reset, Restore and if no change after any or all, call AppleCare or make an appointment at a local Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • How to set the limit for the warning 'running out of disk space'

    I am wondering if there's a way to set the number of GB before I get the system warning 'running out of disk space'.
    I saw this question asked in 2010 and it did not get an answer. It was archived so I am asking again. I know how to monitor the available space on my startup disk, and how to empty the trash to clear up disk space. I am looking for an OS X setting that I can change.

    My guess is that you want to lower the limit. IMHO I think the limit is alreay too low.
    If you are seeing this warning regularly then your disk is severely overfull and needs to be replaced with a larger one.
    Running the free space low eenough to get the warning greatly increases the chances for disk corruption. Once the disk gets corrupted then then next thing that happens is data lose.
    You have a serious problem with your Mac that should be dealt with immediately.
    Backing your data up would also be a good idea if you are not already doing that.

  • Running out of disk space - External Drive Advice

    Hi,
    I've been importing all of our HDV video in "Large" fomat (Not the original or full size). We have an Apple TV so wanted to get the qaulity up for our large TV.
    Anyway, we have lots of digital pics, huge iTunes library and now I'm starting to run out of disk space with all of my iMovie imports.
    I would like to buy a huge external drive to help offload:
    Is there any reason I should be concerned about storing my video on external drive? Any editing performance issues?
    I use time machine, if I buy a huge external, can I split it in half and use part for time machine and part for imovie?
    Just curious.
    Thx,
    Brent

    I agree that you can make this work. Your external drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). You can do this as you are creating your 2 partitions in Disk Utility, if it has a different formatting when you buy it.
    If you want to move your Events from your internal drive to your new external drive, you need to do it from within iMovie so you do not break the links to your projects. To do this, open iMovie and click VIEW/EVENTS BY VOLUME. You should be able to see a small icon in your Event Library List for your external drive. You can Command-Drag your event icons in the event library list to this icon for your external, and all the links to your projects will be preserved. (hold down the command key while dragging). If you do a simple drag and drop, it will copy not move.

  • Running out of disk space error even tho I have 200GB free!!

    Dear users,
    I have a huge problem. I have dowloaded an application from the AppStore named "Virtual City" and once I try to play the game it crashes saying "Running out of disk space" even tho I have more than 200GB free on my hard disk.
    I am using a MacBook Pro Mid April 2010 with Lion latest version.
    What could be the problem??
    Thanks in advance.
    A.

    Did you try to reset your phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
    Do you have an "other" section on your phone, bigger than 1GB? If yes, try to restore the phone to bring it back to normal size, it might contain corrupt data from an unsuccessful sync.

    Get the new HD and an enclosure to put it into, then after formatting it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in GUID partition use either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to create a bootable clone of the internal HD. Then install the new HD into the computer. However rather than going through this excercise which is major surgery on an iMac I'd simply get external HD's to store large amounts of data. My iMac's internal HD is only 320GB however it staill has 219GB of free HD space because I store my large libraries on external HD's. Much easier and the performance doesn't suffer and I didn't run into any issues with breaking internal parts of making serious errors.

  • Running out of disk space (large VM boxes)

    Gentlemen:

    Exchange Information Store Version: 6.5.7638.1

    Here is the situation: My client never set up any storage or flush procedures within Cisco Unity Tools Message Store Manager (MSM). Now they have several voice mailboxes with a half a GB of data or more in their (Deleted Items Folder)
    I ran the (flush messages from deleted items folder) with success on these voice mailboxes.
    The question is should I see some disk space reclaimed on the Server Hard Drives?
    Thanks, Tom

    With Exchange, you will not see disk space reclaimed until an offline defrag is run against the Exchange databases.
