I did something similar below, and it worked a little bit, but I eventally ran out of room again.
What I ended up doing was mkdir /opt/cache mkdir /opt/lib cd /var/cache mv apt /opt/cache ln -s /opt/cache/apt apt cd /var/lib mv apt /opt/lib ln -s /opt/lib/apt apt mv dpkg /opt/dpkg ln -s /opt/lib/dpkg dpkg At present /opt/cache/apt is 10 Meg, /opt/lib/apt is 18, meg and /opt/lib/dpkg is 28 Meg With 56 Meg moved out of rootfs, I now have 30 Meg to spare in my rootfs Aldon -----Original Message----- From: maemo-users-boun...@maemo.org [mailto:maemo-users-boun...@maemo.org]on Behalf Of Kimmo Hämäläinen Sent: Friday, February 19, 2010 6:23 AM To: Tamminen Eero (Nokia-D/Helsinki) Cc: maemo-users@maemo.org Subject: Re: Not enough memory On Fri, 2010-02-19 at 11:02 +0100, Tamminen Eero (Nokia-D/Helsinki) wrote: > Hi, > > ext Jason wrote: > > On a more technical, get-it-done approach, my problem with OOM was > > too much crap in /var/cache/apt/archive/ .

Apparently it still has them on rootfs, see the internal bug 144371. I don't see it necessary to keep these caches on rootfs since the .deb cache is not mandatory and the rest (.bin files) can be regenerated anytime. -Kimmo _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
