/usr/local to small... how do I update?

[thyphear]

I thought I was smart... Guess not, I changed the tmp download directory in the pref. for updater, but it doesn't help I still get an error when I try to download updates from the updater in plesk.


ERROR: There is not enough free disk space in the /usr/local directory. You need to free up 4294967097 megabytes.


Any suggestions... Thanks

looks like something is wrong with disk space counting either is system or in plesk.. the number in error is really funny..

what `du -sh /usr/local` and `df -h` say?

and try to delete the old temp folder you used for storing updates before, it collects all updates for all versions from the first time you install plesk, i think you do not need them all..

Hi

Have you ever used the migration? If yes,
there should be a lot of temporary files in /usr/local/psa/PMM directory, they can also be safely removed.

Even after clearing out that PMM dir. it still isn't working.

this is a df.

Thanks for your help!

4294967097 MB = 4194303.8 GB = 4095.9998 TB

So unless plesk is asking for almost 4100 TB of free space, the counter is messed up.

its most likely in bytes, but it looks like you need to free up some space, or resize a volume to make more room.

I have tried changing the update location to /var which has like 32 gig avail. but it doesn't seem to help.

I have tried freeing up what I can, but nothing seems to be enough. How would I resize a volume. That is something I haven't done before.

Thanks for your help!

If you have space to use for the patition you can look into the LVM ( I think it stands for logical volume manager) and you can use that to resize an existing partition. If you dont know what you are doing then tread lightly as if you do the wrong thing you could accidentally delete everything on the partition.

Yes, creating a new partition and then mount it as /usr/local can fix the problem.
