'Not enough space available on the download path' error on RP2 & OE 5.0.8

Open er-chisus opened this issue 10 years ago • 5 comments

When I try to see a movie with pulsar it always says that there is not enough space, but I looked for it using the df -h command with ssh and in the download path that I set I have 5.3G free. I am using a Raspberry Pi 2 whit OpenElec 5.0.8.

Are you using a local storage ? I got the same issue when using an external device as storage (for both NFS and SMB2)

I'm using the 8gb class 10 Trascend micro sd that came with the noobs package. I've noticed that the issue can due to the torrent full space is superior to 20gb and even it only buffers a few mb each time I can need a drive or sd or whatever I use that has more than that 20gb of free space, because of torrents allocating free space that way. I'm not sure of this but it's the only thing that came to my mind.

i Solve in Android. You can format a external memory in NTFS or exFAT, after you set the download path directory in this external memory, by this way you can use this space like as cache.

I thought about doing that you said but I do not have any 32gb or superior sd card nor USB memory at the moment. I have got a 2TB 2.5" external hard drive, but the RPi2 does not provide enough power to make it work. I will test it when I get the external memory and write here the results.

Iam doing almost the same as you guys do, moving working/temp directory for pulsar of the sd card.

There are many ways to acomplish this. Remember pulsar can not use a kodi gui attached share.

Whit android its possibke to mount cifs/smb share native to the filesystem (google it) you can move pulsar directory to the path of this share.

In linux/openelec its same way, mount cifs/smb or nfs as native to the os, then you can move pulsar directory to it.
