Re: PR1.2: how much rootfs space for OTA update?
 

So how do I clean up rootfs? I had around 17 MB free, deleted a bunch of widgets and applications and even did some rm in root shell, but I still have only 20 MB free.

Removing applications is slow as h*ll, it seems one measly update requires one or two working days.

Beware of this, the problem might not be not having enough rootfs free space.

Some people have been having trouble doing OTA updates with the following apps installed.Try removing them and then installing after:

gltron
tux racer
teeworld
brainparty

Mine refused to install with 33MB free (and displayed a cryptic "Not enough storage space in target location" error message - Nokia really has to work on their error messages).

It worked fine with 40MB free. IIRC, all I had to do was to run an apt-get clean to free up some space (had already disabled extra-testing and extra-devel).

Check out http://wiki.maemo.org/Free_up_rootfs_space for a few tips on how to free up some space.

Interestingly, after having installed PR 1.2 (OTA) I ended up with 65MB of free space in rootfs.

i needed 62mb.... after update to 1.2 i have 80mb free :)

I had 48 mb free and updated via wifi. It seems to have worked (but I did see some sort of error message half way through but it didn't stay long enough to see what it said). Everything seems to be working as expected.
After updating, I have 68mb free, so someone's done some tweaking.

It's a 100+ mb download. and it seems to hang a few times during the update process - just be patient.

I had 48 mb free rootfs and updated the NAM OTA update and it worked fine.

as someone mentioned I got a bried quick message ' operation failed' while the update was one but it continued fine and I have the new update working . Have 77mb free rootfs now post-update.

I had to use the PC updater to re-install the old version, then I could OTA the new version, no amount of free space was working for me.

Not interestingly at all... part of the changes in 1.2 was to optify some stuff to free rootfs space.

My update did not work with 52 free. Started workin at 52.1.
