Hi there Sometimes im out of disk on installations and i get a IOError installing and files remains there. Maybe portage should delete that "pseudo" installed files. Ex. Installing bar... ->bar.foo1 ->bar.foo2 ->bar.foo3 ->bar.foo4 1) IOError 1) Blah blah blah blah blah 1) Blah blah blah blah blah 2) 1) Should display "Sorry, out of space, you need (compiled folder size - current HD free space) 2) Should delete all bar.foo (all installed files)
Please give us more information like: - Attach "emerge --info" output - Full Portage error output (traceback) that concerns you - how to reproduce it (it seems missing and "blah blah blah" don't help) - Explain your issue more clearly Thanks!
We can use os.statvfs() to check for free space prior to merge. That way, we can bail out about the same time as the collision protection code that's called from dblink.treewalk() in vartree.py. The code will have to account for mount points like /usr and /var, which make it a little complex but still doable.
Oh, sorry, is not a bug, is a wishlist, sorry Well... another thing... When im 'emerging' some package and fails or ctrl+c is caugh, /var/tmp/portage/<package> still there using space... If im going to recompile that package, is deleted... but if im not going to compile it anymore? Will be there forever? (well, im thinking on special case if this computer will not be turn off for large time) Ex. $emerge foo *Emerging bar/Foo-0.1 -Checking bar.h... fail ****************** * Error various * ***************** $du /var/tmp/ 1043534 /var/tmp/ 1043534 /var/tmp/bar/foo/... In reply to Fabio Erculiani... thats what im saying... Today: $df Filesystem Use% / 90% $emerge foo *Emerging bar/Foo-0.1 ⁻ Checking bar.h * Compiling Foo-0.1 - cc bar.c * Compiled Foo-0.1 * Installing Foo-0.1 -> foo /bin/foo ****************** * Error about space * ***************** IOError: No space on disk $df Filesystem Use% / 100% Thats because when im installing and fails, installed files remains on disk, same for /var/tmp/<package>, leaving a system with 0b My idea: $df Filesystem Use% / 90% $emerge foo *Emerging bar/Foo-0.1 ⁻ Checking bar.h * Compiling Foo-0.1 - cc bar.c * Compiled Foo-0.1 * Installing Foo-0.1 -> foo /bin/foo (except IOError: #Im installing, but my harddisk isnt enough) Portage Error: Your hd space is insufficient, you need at least 250MB free available. $df Filesystem Use% / 90% Where 250MB = size of /var/tmp/<current package> - size of / (after delete /var/tmp/<current package>)
