Hello!
I've been experiencing this problem wih installworld for a while. My
/-partition is rather small
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a 31743 22828 6376 78% /
It is using soft-updates and installworld dies with "no space left"
trying to install things there. AFAIK, this is a generic problem with
soft-updates. It would appear to me as a bug, but I hesitate to file a
PR because this is a known problem, yet not addressed. The only way I
can have installworld finish is to run (in another window; I use tcsh):
mi@guest:/usr/src (1019) while ( 1 )
while? if ( `df / | awk '/^\// {print $4}'` < 2000 ) sync
while? sleep 1
while? end
which checks the available space on / every second and forces the sync
whenever the amount goes below 2000 Kb.
Yours,
-mi
