"No space left on device" despite there being a lot

Description

When setting up, XIP unzipping stops at 81% and the program complains about space despite me checking and seeing I got like 80GB left.

I ran into the same issue and it's apparently due to your tmpfs not having enough space for it. A workaround that worked to me is:

mkdir ~/.temporary
TMPDIR=~/.temporary xtool setup

[yukiterunamaana]

> xtool sdk --version
xtool 1.15.0

Thank you so much. Maybe adding this sort of directory can be an option when installing

I had the same issue (also had my RAM fill up a couple of times when retrying, swap thrashing isn't fun yo!) and can confirm making my own temp dir on disc as above solved things.

Would be neat if there was some way for xtool setup (and whatever other parts are affected by this) could spot up front that they're about to fill up tmpfs or wherever, and instead write to a local ./.temp dir instead or something and clean that up when finished. (Apparently, expanding an xcode.xip takes up more than the ~5G available in tmp, lol)

(imo this issue should be reopened, since i suspect xtool can and probably should handle this case itself, especially considering the confusing error message)

[kabiroberai]

hmm fair, I'll reopen this since there's still a UX issue here. we can probably try to avoid /tmp specifically for the unxip step.
