svn import error : Could not write svndiff to temp file: There is not enough space on the disk
Update: the OP itsraja finally found the $TMPDIR environment variable wasn't set (after some advices from zerkms in the comments above)
Sorry, I was searching in SVN's.
I haven't set anything as temporary directory, it seems. When echoed$TMPDIR
, it is empty.
I believe it uses/tmp
directory and it has enough space.
I set$TMPDIR
, and the issue fixed, thanks
Initial answer:
According to this post (for a Windows client, but the idea is still valid for an Unix client):
Using Subversion (via Tortoise, incidentally), I recently got this error:
svn:
Can't set position pointer in file 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\report.tmp':
There is not enough space on the disk.
This means you have run out of space on your server.
Sounds straight forward, but it took a while fooling around on the client
It could be a similar problem in your case (if you do have space left locally).
Or it could be an ACL (access rights) issue on the tmp
directory as described here:
Subversion uses an APR function (which we donated to that project) for finding a temporary directory.
It does so by trying to find a writable directory using the following search path:
$TMP
$TEMP
$TMPDIR
"C:\TEMP" (windows only)
"SYS:\TMP" (netware only)
"/tmp"
"/var/tmp"
"/usr/tmp"
P_tmpdir (POSIX define)
`pwd`
Do you have one of those first three environment variables set to a non-writable location?
