walterw Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I am attempting to install git-annex and apparently this has not been installed for some time, but I did have git-annex installed a while back. My /var/tmp is tmpfs and has 12G allocated. When attempting to install git-annex, it requires at least 8GB free and fails: Checking for at least 8 GiB disk space at "/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/ghc-8.0.2/temp The build will most probably fail, you should enhance the space as per failed tests. I could do a bind mount here, but why does the ebuild care if it is disk or memory for the underlying device? Is there another way around this short of doing a bind mount here? Thanks, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcowan Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 It shouldn't care, allot of us use /var/tmp on tmpfs. Is your /var/tmp/portage full of failed builds causing less than 8 gigs of space? Or something else filling /var/tmp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterw Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Ah, you're right, my chromium build fails and isn't cleaned up. I will modify the build process to wipe /var/tmp for me :). I was checking after the entire build completed and /var/tmp was wiped - I forgot about failed builds not being cleaned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
