Out of space?

I'm trying to build Opera from the AUR, everything is going fine until I get to makepkg -s.  It goes through for awhile, then gives me a disc space error.  Output of df-h is below.  The package is being installed on the home partition right?  There's obviously plenty of space there.

/dev/sda3             7.3G  7.0G     0 100% /
none                 1013M  164K 1013M   1% /dev
none                 1013M     0 1013M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda4             140G   73G   61G  55% /home
/dev/sda1              38M  9.5M   27M  27% /boot

I'm not trying to install to that partition though.

Re: Out of space?

Firstly, makepkg *might* be using some temp space, stored on root  (/tmp).

Secondly, the -s flag for makepkg will install dependencies, which ARE synced *and* installed to your root partition, either of which function can nag you about memory if you're really that low.

Bad things happen when you run out of space.. clean it up immediately and/or move some space over to it, imo. You can clear cached packages with pacman -Scc if you have any.

You haven't got a separate partition for /tmp so *anything* (including makepkg) that uses that for temporary space is going to bork at you. I'm surprised you're not having more problems. Logs won't be being written to /var/log, pid and lock files won't be able to be written to /var/run or /var/lock

You need to clean up some space or you will start having problems.
