Not enough disk space error on installing CUDA Toolkit


Tried repeatedly to install latest Nvidia CUDA 9.1 Toolkit but always get a 'not enough disk space' error at the end, even if I target external drive with over 400GB available! What gives?

If I run df -h in the command line I see

I'd say what's highlighted in bold, based on the information you have provided thus far. You need to remember that unlike other systems (eg. Windows, etc), the filesystem is everything in Linux. It needs at least some free space to work properly, as the file system is also a "communications channel" in Linux/UNIX. It's *not* only used for just storage, have a look in your /dev folder, there should be device nodes/files for each piece of hardware connected to your machine there.

Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

udev 32G 0 32G 0% /dev

tmpfs 6.3G 147M 6.2G 3% /run

/dev/sdb2 40G 35G 2.4G 94% /

tmpfs 32G 55M 32G 1% /dev/shm

tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock

tmpfs 32G 0 32G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup

/dev/sdb3 630G 54G 545G 9% /home

/dev/sdb1 549M 5.8M 544M 2% /boot/efi

tmpfs 6.3G 52K 6.3G 1% /run/user/1000

/dev/sda1 1.9T 1.5T 427G 78% /media/jim/Seagate_1
Also, it might help if you post the output of the following command - using CODE tags;

Code:
lsblk -f
