No space available for update - aitor - 6th Mar, 2015 04:39 AM

Software
XBian version: 1.0RC3
XBMC version: 13.2
Overclock settings: default

Hardware
RPi model: B 512
SD card size and make/type: 8Gb
Network: Wireless
Connected devices: TV, USB HD.

Problem description:
I'm trying a system update from xbian-config, but I get an error message:

Code:
E: Write error - write (28: No space left on device)

My SD card is:

Code:
Filesystem     Type      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs         rootfs    7.1G  6.7G  202M  98% /
/dev/mmcblk0p2 btrfs     7.1G  6.7G  202M  98% /
devtmpfs       devtmpfs  171M  4.0K  171M   1% /dev

/dev/sda1      ext4      917G  849G   22G  98% /media/biblio_HD
/dev/mmcblk0p2 btrfs     7.1G  6.7G  202M  98% /xbmc-backup

Maybe, I can try a new installation from scratch, lossing my configuration, but, are there another way to do it? Any idea?

Thank you.

You can remove some btrfs snapshots.

Thank you. Finally, I did a installation from scratch. It took me hours, but I have a clean system now, I think.

I will change to solved this thread. If can I ask, what are btrfs snapshots? Are the same snapshots at the XBMC backup settings?

No they are moment in time backups, so you can rollback to a working version of xbian if something goes wrong. They are taken each time your system updates, there is a mechanism that keeps it from filling your system but that doesn't help when your system is full from other things.

See the wiki: http://wiki.xbian.org/doku.php/snapshots
