Yaourt doesn't fit into /tmp

raingloom · 2015-09-07 23:40:42

Ok, it's a bit really too late and I failed to notice that /tmp is in fact still 2GB. I change my question to:
Can I tell Yaourt to use an other directory? (last time I checked I found to such option)
How do I disable the /tmp mount? (systemctl disable tmp.mount didn't do the job it'd seem)
I'm trying to install the Unity editor from the AUR and I'm always running into this problem.
When the install process reaches the decompression part, it displays this error on every file. (or at least those printed within the scrollback buffer)
I've checked `df` and I have ~8GB on my Arch partition.

~~I've tried the 'aur/unity-editor' and the 'aur/unity-editor-bin' packages, the former gives the aforementioned error, the latter gives a more generic one, but it also uses `bsdtar`.~~

I've had similar problems due to the /tmp partition's 2GB limit, so I disabled the systemd unit that mounts the tmpfs file system on it, but it solved nothing. (I'll probably have to revert that change)

~~output of df after the last failed attempt~~

tmpfs             501812        8    501804   1% /run/user/1001

Previously I managed to install a previously manually downloaded version and I could run it with no apparent problems. At least not more than one would expect from an experimental first-ever Linux build.

~~Really sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't find any other sane reason why this would fill up any partition with the caching problem in /tmp eliminated.~~

You're still building in /tmp, df clearly shows it as 100% used. Build in ~.

Either configure yaourt to do so, or just use makepkg.

Moving to AUR Issues, Discussion and PKGBUILD Requests.
(This is because of Yaourt, regardless that the root problem may be because of a full /tmp)

Learn to use yaourt properly, or just stop using it all together. This is covered in the configuration file, the man page, and the wiki.

systemctl mask tmp.mount
