I am doing the basic LFS with documentation on a VirtualBox with Ubuntu. I have created a share for Ubuntu of 50G and a Vdrive(Dynamiclly) of 30G for LFS.

I am now halfway through Chapter Six on libtools and now I am getting out of disk space.

I ran DF -h and the entire 30G is 100% Use. I removed excess directories and packages and it looks like it does not clear of the space.

When I run nautalis as root, I right click the directory and it says only 2.3 is used.

Have anyone else had the same issue?

I am at 6.37 Libtools

Hi
I really didn't understand if your issue is in the VM or on the PC hosting the VM (and didn't quite understand what your "share" is nor know what a "dynamic Vdrive" is).
Forgetting about "chapter six" and the Libools version, what did you do (that relates to the issue) and what's your problem?

Virtualbox allows you to create a 'dynamic' drive, that is you specify a max size for the drive but not all the disk space on the host system is allocated to the drive it 'grows' as needed in the host but is effectively fuul size in the client.

As for filling up the drive 30G should be more than enough, sounds like you are not deleting the source folders after building the packages, check that all the completed packages have had there source folders removed.

Please post your version.sh script when asking for help, ubuntu is not the best distro to use for building LFS as it needs some extra packages installed etc before a successful build.

I been cleaning the sources directories out of /sources. Currently that directory has only 500 meg. The only files are the tar files.

you have a non complient host check the host prerequists in the book correct those errors ( as shown in the version script output ) then start again.

Sounds to me like the vdrive cannot expand. Do you have enough free space on your host operating system?

I am moved from Ubuntu to Slackware. See if there might work better. Choosing solved for now.
