Question

npm install fails

gjsman opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

Hello,

I booted up NodeOS, and logged in with "nodeos"/"nodeos" and ran:

npm install c9

However, it crashed with this error:
npm ERR! nospc ENOSPC: no space left on device, write
npm ERR! nospc This is most likely not a problem with npm itself
npm ERR! nospc and is related to insufficient space on your system.

I still have plenty of space left. Thoughts?

What image are you using? QEmu usersfs partition is a bit space constrained since it's only for demo and test purposses...

I followed the Build instructions on the Wiki.

I followed the Build instructions on the Wiki.

Then yes, you have the default usersfs size constrains. If you are just playing with NodeOS, a quick workaround would be to flash it to a pendrive with bin/install-usb script, it will expand usersfs to the size of the USB thumb. If you are willing to contribute, you could add an argument to nodeos-usersfs to define an alternative size and give it as parameter of NodeOS build system too, so you can create a default partition with a bit more space. Also, it's on the roadmap to allow to define the path of already created custom layers, so in the long term it will be the best alternative.

Okay, thanks! I will try contributing (if I can).

You are welcome :-) I hope to add the support to define the custom usersfs image in the next days... only that we'll need to have some tool to create them, too :-/ El 26/06/2017 23:27, "gjsieben" <notifications@github.com> escribió:
