8-STABLE build fails at installworld
Dear Friends of FreeBSD:
I just updated my sources to the RELENG_8 tag and performed the usual update of the system via make buildworld, make buildkernel, etc. but this time I encountered an error I have never seen before: installworld stops midway because it finds the file system full. "No space left on device" it says. This is impossible, because I have allocated 500G to this installation and used the default disklabel settings during install. My machine is a new HP with AMD Phenom X4 9750. Installation of 8.0-RC1 went well. Only problem was Xorg, which could not configure X server properly. Any thoughts? Thank you for your help!! |

Thank you for your reply!
Here it is: Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad4s1a 496M 485M -29M 106% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ad4s1e 496M 25M 431M 5% /tmp /dev/ad4s1f 374G 3.1G 341G 1% /usr /dev/ad4s1d 8.5G 41M 7.7G 1% /var I think I will just reinstall everything end expand all those partitions. What do you think? Thank you! Last edited by Carpetsmoker; 3rd November 2009 at 09:48 PM. Reason: Added [code] tags |

Hi DD, thank you for your help!
This was my first kernel build after installation. I have done this at least 30 times for 7-STABLE and never had a problem. I noticed that most of the space is taken up by the directories /boot/kernel and /boot/kernel.old I will investigate more thoroughly what files are taking up so much space and will let you know. For the moment, I am very grateful for your time! |

Note that builds for FreeBSD 8 (pre RC-1) were very big due to debugging symbols being included in the GENERIC kernel. These debugging symbols disappeared with 8-RC1. You may have had a 'debug-bloated' kernel/modules collection in /boot/kernel.old.

Hi DD,
YES, that's exactly it! I just checked the directories and they are full of *.symbols files that are very large. I think there is an option in make.conf to build without debug. I will do that. Thank you for your help!! |

You can just remove the *.symbol files.
You can also remove /boot/kernel.old. Assuming of course the new kernel works (Which it usually does).
