All of a sudden when ever I try to use yaourt I get errors like this:
[jesse@ArchBook ~]$ yaourt -Syua

Any ideas?
Thanks!
BTW: I have plenty of disk space

Prove it ;P
Are you building things in /tmp? Maybe it's full?

Is there a quota placed on /tmp?
EDIT: Just checked /tmp. Everything (including hidden files) adds up to 11 bytes.

Not sure, but I've heard it's half the size of your RAM - it's true on my systems.

I have ~500 megs for /tmp. And as noted above, only 11 bytes is used.

Sorry, haven't seen your edit.
Please post the output of
df -h
df -hi

Wow. I just restarted and everything works fine now. How Windows-ish. *cringe*
Sorry if I wasted your time.
EDIT: And for the record, the output of those commands before I restarted STILL said the /tmp was nearly empty.

You might have run out of some temporary scratch space - I thought it was /tmp but seems I was wrong.

I can understand that... that's the first thing I checked.

- /tmp is cleared on bootup if it isn't mounted on tmpfs (meaning it cleans itself).
- Adding up what you think is in /tmp and reading the output of `df -h' are likely very different
- ENOFS errors are hard to fake. They usually mean that... you're out of space.
Given that yaourt builds in /tmp and we've had a half dozen of these threads recently, I see no reason that your situation would be special. You ran out of space in /tmp.

Hmmm... the output of df -h said /tmp was (just about) empty. My computer froze before I could post it, but then yaourt was working. What I thought was strange at the time is that it said '==> ERROR: dropbox not found in AUR.' The same error had showed up for everything else I tried installing.
Sorry if I sounded rude earlier; I was hoping to avoid that. I just thought that maybe we were focusing on the wrong thing.

I am getting the same message and have never got that before. When I looked into the /tmp issue, yes my temp if full...but why? I do not have a sepearte temp partition. Is this the same as the swap file? df -h listed below, It is just interesting that I have not had this probelm before.

Were you doing the exact same thing as you are doing now? If you do something else, be prepared for different results.
yes my temp is full...but why?
How should I know? You tell me what's sitting there doing nothing.

Yes, there is a tmp folder...OBVIOUSLY created by the system upon install...but a temp partition as I said earlier was not created. So my question was to the point that if I have 275+ Gig on my drive why is the folder space being limited to the 937 mb. Where did that limit come from?

By default, a tmpfs partition has its maximum size set to half your total RAM, but this can be customized...

I still don't know why is it full, what is in there. Let's assume you were building some packages. Well, you can build stuff outside /tmp too, so you can use that huge hard drive you have there.

Thank you, now I feel like I am getting somewhere in the right direction.
