mylivecd failure???????

[geraldw321]

hello there  well i tried to make a mylivecd iso . but it fails repeatedly.

im running a fresh install of fullmonty, updated as of 12/30/12, i have it on a 256gig ssd drive so lots of free space left to store image and stuff  ,   this is on my acer v771-9875 laptop (new i7 machine it rocks) 

this is the error message i keep getting:

being a newbee im stumped i looked around read mylivecd help files and manpages , searched online and in forums but i dont know whats going on or what i need to do?

thanks in advance group i know you folks will offer help,  you always do

geraldw321,

That means you either don't have enough free space to create the ISO OR the ISO you are trying to create is exceeding the maximum size of a squashfs filesystem of 4 gigs. In other words you can't expect to compress 15-20 gigs of data into a 4 gig compressed image.

Please post the output of

df -hT

as well as

ls -lh /tmp

How many times have you attempted to make a mylivecd iso?

hello and thank you  

heres the output   and  3 times   same failure each time  just different number temp dir livecd file ie: /tmp/mylivecdXXXX

i did run bleachbit and BBroot before my attempts at mylivecd

In addition to the above, as you appear to have /tmp set up in RAM, you will need to specify a temporary directory for mylivecd to use. Type mylivecd --help to see all the options.

geraldw321,

Thank you for the info, I found another quote that may be relevant:

Post the contents of your /etc/fstab please as you have tmp being stored in memory instead of the hard drive and mylivecd needs lots of tmp storage.

[######@localhost ~]$ df -hT
Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1     ext4    175G   16G  151G  10% /
tmpfs        tmpfs    1.2G  101M  1.1G   9% /tmp
/dev/sdb1  fuseblk    699G   11G  689G   2% /media/750

It appears from the above that you are attempting to "remaster" a 16 GB installation, which will not compress into a ~4GB image.
This (16GB) most likely includes files from the previous two attempts.

Please post the contents of your

/etc/fstab

file, as well as the output of

ls -lh ~/tmp/

as root.

I expect you will see three mylivecdXXXX folders there.

-Darryl

EDIT:

your konsole output indicates a previous incomplete remaster attempt. Enter the following in a root-terminal and then reboot:

Code: [Select]

/sbin/chkconfig --add atd
/sbin/chkconfig --add crond
/sbin/chkconfig --add syslog
/sbin/chkconfig --add kheader
/sbin/chkconfig --add xinetd
hope this helps,
-p.

Please also follow pinoc's instructions above.   

here is the info  first  is fstab
