I meet the partition too full problem

zeno · 2012-01-17 14:22:33

I updated the pacman to Pacman v4.0.1 - libalpm v7.0.1

when i run pacman -Syu
and it said:

This is a mere workaround and not an optimal one. Please provide some debug info via pacman --debug.

/dev/sdb3 is looking full... (be back later...)

EDIT:
I ran `pacman -Scc`
which opened up /dev/sdb3 to 97% and allowed me to install the package.

I'm willing to be educated as to what's going on. I did auto-partition and do not remember setting up a 7.4G partition. A guess would be its `/var/` but that's just a guess. Any tips? What should I read to learn more or what commands can I run to find out what's mounted to where?
Thanks

Give us "df -ih" to see if your inode table is full.

Auto-partition makes a 100MB /boot partition, 7.4 GB / and the remaining goes to /home. So, if you have a lot of programs installed, your / goes full. Resizing your partitions would help

Thank you for the insight

I actually fixed this running "arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash".

WorMzy · 2016-06-17 11:41:23

I fail to see how that would "fix" a full partition, jmromeroes. Also, this topic is over four years old; even if what you suggest was a fix, it's unlikely that the original poster is still searching for a solution.
