Error: No space left on device
I'm trying to create a safety clone for my G5 from my internal 160gb hd onto an 80gb external fw maxtor. Get info shows 104gb used on the internal drive. My home folder is 88gb. I'm thinking that since the safety clone doesn't copy the user files that I am only trying to copy 104-88=16gb. Am I wrong?
|
It's going to share a number of applications, too, if you choose that script.
Remember, too, that you need to leave enough free space on the Safety Clone to hold temporary files, anything you're going to install over there, and VM files and the like. Don't be too stingy with the space. If you want to know exactly how big it's going to be, run a sample one into an image (even a sparse image)... |
Thanks for your quick reply.
I'm using Safety clone - shared users and applications. If an image is as large as the clone itself, I don't have room anywhere to copy it. |
Well, in general, I'd expect it to be 8-12GB... that works well for me, with quite a few apps installed...
|
Is an image of a clone the same size as the clone? What's the advantage of an image?
Here's a copy of the log of one of the failed attempts if that helps. Thanks again for the help.

Hi, tradervic.
The problem here is pretty much exactly what it says: you're trying to copy 100GB of information to a drive that only has 76GB of space: |07:08:24 PM|Info| Source Drive: /, name: Macintosh HD, device: /dev/disk0s3 type: hfs, OS: 10.3.8 (7U16), capacity: 148.93 GB, used: 100.93 GB, directories: 58923, files: 247075 |07:08:24 PM|Info| Target Drive: /Volumes/Maxtor Hard Drive, name: Maxtor Hard Drive, device: /dev/disk1s3 type: hfs, OS: 10.3.8 (7U16), capacity: 76.21 GB, used: 5.73 GB, directories: 44289, files: 160526 There's no real advantage of an image in your case, since you can copy directly to the drive... |
I thought that a safety clone did not include the user files or applications. My home folder is around 88gb of the 100gb used on the drive (including movies and music). If the clone does not include this, why isn't there enough room? I must be missing something.
|
My mistake! I misread the log, and didn't see the script name. Sorry about that.
Try emptying your trash, rebooting, and copying again. There might be more in the trash than you think... that's certainly where it's running out of room. |
OK. Latest try. Emptied trash first. The first listing of the no space left error comes after Ignoring /.Trashes. Does that mean the trash is causing the problem? There is nothing in the trash. Does the safety clone contains aliases to all the user and application files?

A Safety Clone has aliases to all 3rd party applications, as long as they're stored in /Applications.
But what it looks like here is that you're running an application while you're creating the Safety Clone that's writing actively to this rs_tmp_aiff file. Try rebooting. If your have things set up to automatically log you in, log out. Then, at the login window, enter your password and then hold down Shift before you click the log in button, and keep it down until you're *idle* at the desktop. Then, do not run any other applications but SuperDuper!, and try to create the Safety Clone again. |
Rebooting with shift key down did the trick! The aiff file must have been from an app called Radio Shark that continually records radio onto the hard drive. I have the app set as a startup item. Thanks very much for all your help. Following is an edited log from the successful copy, just for grins.

Glad to hear it. That makes sense about Radio Shark: in the future, just quit that -- or stop it from recording -- before you start your backup.
