apt-get: You don't have enough free space

[Lukas1]

Hi,

I installed node.js with apt-get on my STM32MP157C-DK2, which worked great.

Now I want to install another package but it fails

apt-get install nodejs-npm

...
Need to get 7286 kB of archives.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.

But I think there is still enough free space on the SD Card:

root@stm32mp1:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 715M 682M 0 100% /
devtmpfs 150M 0 150M 0% /dev
tmpfs 214M 0 214M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 214M 20M 195M 10% /run
tmpfs 214M 0 214M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 214M 4.0K 214M 1% /tmp
/dev/mmcblk0p4 58M 8.5M 46M 16% /boot
tmpfs 214M 80K 214M 1% /var/volatile
/dev/mmcblk0p7 14G 74M 13G 1% /usr/local
/dev/mmcblk0p5 15M 8.4M 5.1M 63% /vendor

hope someone can help. Otherwise I have to cancel my work with node.js

regards

Hi @Lukas​ 

Your rootfs is full.

Please note in section https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/Package_repository_for_OpenSTLinux_distribution#Limitations

rootfs available space is about 60MB by default. For a better experience it is recommended to flash the Starter Package using the "extensible" flashlayout (*-extensible.tsv).

Extensible flashlayout does not flash userfs partition to extend the rootfs partition to the size of the sdcard.

Hi @Community member​ ,

thanks for your fast reply.

I want to avoid flashing a new image. Is it possible to expand rootfs on the installed image?

Hi,

you can't resize a mounted partition, as far as I know.

What you can do is take your SD-Card and mount it on a seperate Linux PC. There you can then unmount it and use tools like gparted or fdisk to resize your partition.

Bare in mind, that this is (again as far as I know) just possible if there is no other partition on a higher offset than your rootfs. From your listing i assume that that is the case and the vendor filesystem resides at a higher offset than the rootfs (the rootfs should be on /dev/mmcblk0p6).

If that is the case deleting the vendorfs might help you.
