[SOLVED] cannot create temp file for here-document: No space left on device

parotta36 · 01-13-2018, 02:13 AM

I'm currently build my LFS in a Slackware as a host.
I keep getting an error,

Code:

cannot create temp file for here-document: No space left on device

I tried restarting and deleting the files in /tmp but the error stills exists.
When this error occurred sometime back, I increased the size of the partition but it starts showing again.
This keeps me deterring from building my system. Please help ASAP. Thanks.

Full error message.

well slack is full up,

echo $LFS make sure thats correct

when you say you increased size did you mean slackware or lfs?

parotta36 · 01-13-2018, 03:09 AM

$LFS is correct.
Previously, both the partitions were of 10GB. I increased the size by 2GB to the Slackware partition(/dev/sda1).

Your / partition is full, and that's where /tmp resides. Try mounting a tmpfs to /tmp (via fstab, at boot most likely) to workaround the space issues.

I'd say 20 GB hard drive is not large enough for host OS and LFS build.

parotta36 · 01-13-2018, 08:59 AM

How large do you recommend I part the disk for the build?
I thought 20GB was plenty enough from all those articles claiming that so little space was enough for LFS.
Since I've not gone far, I'll build it in a new large sized partition. How big do you recommend it be? 50?
Just so you know, I'm using a VirtualBox.

BW-userx · 01-13-2018, 08:44 PM

if you're using VBox you can make it 100GB ( or whatever size that might be considered too much) if you have that room to spare and set it to grow dynamically so "theoretically" you may never use that full 100GB but its there just in case you need it.

I created a new machine with a new hard disk as suggested.
