I have a kind of smallish / partition (32MB, about 8MB
user-available), and a much larger /usr partition (800MB, ~100MB
user-available). So I'm trying to build a kernel package in
/usr/local/src/linux. The kernel itself builds fine, and I can watch
a source tarball being built under debian/tmp-source/usr/src. Once
make-kpkg goes off to try to actually assemble the package, though, it
produces an error. Running dpkg --build by hand from
/usr/local/src/linux:
{3} linux% dpkg --build debian/tmp-source ..
dpkg-deb: building package `kernel-source-2.1.109' in
`../kernel-source-2.1.109_2.1.109-dzm.1_all.deb'.
gzip: stdout: No space left on device
dpkg-deb: subprocess gzip -9c from tar --exclude returned error exit status 1
Watching with 'df' shows that the / partition is filling up; once /
fills, dpkg-deb dies and I get this error. 'du -sx /' shows that no
additional space is being used by files in the / filesystem, though.
What's going on? How can I get make-kpkg to work (it's worked
before...)?
Relevant system details: Current slink install, kernel 2.1.107.
Package versions:
ii kernel-package 5.03 Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
ii dpkg 1.4.0.24 Package maintenance system for Debian Linux
ii dpkg-dev 1.4.0.24 Package building tools for Debian Linux
