I tried working around this problem by creating a folder /someotherDisc/dejaDupCache and then symbolic linking ~/.cache/deja-dup to it. This works for some time. The folder grows beyond the size of the space available on the "original" filesystem. But some time during the backup-process the link is removed and a new folder ~/.cache/deja-dup is created which again has too little available space
This makes deja-dup unusable for me -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974036 Title: Say "No space left on target" while it's in the cache folder that the problem is Status in Déjà Dup: Triaged Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in deja-dup package in Arch Linux: New Bug description: The problem is that I get the message "No space left on me DD" where "me DD" is the name of my backup folder on my NAS. There is still 1.9 T free space on that NAS. I can see it when running: gvfs-info -f smb://user@diskstation/backup-profil/ attributes: filesystem::size: 2948732551168 filesystem::free: 1929174245376 filesystem::type: cifs filesystem::readonly: FALSE gvfs::backend: smb-share When I checked the problem was that there was no space left on my home folder and after I did a little bit of cleaning it looks like the backup process could go on. The message here is wrong and there is no easy way to know if we have enough space in our /home, /tmp or backup destination. Isn't it possible to give some kind of rough estimation to the user. Thanks.
