I am building a nightly-image from source for use in a qemu environment. After building a few times I got an error saying: not enough space left on device so I increased the image size. But, then none of the packages load at boot time and I just see a blue screen. Using safe mode, I get this error:
found the reason. I deleted the generated/attributes folder. I only did so because it blew to 7.8 GiB in size and I was full on memory, why does that happen? @nephele suggested that jam may not be cleaning files during a rebuild.
The “attributes” folder is only needed if you are building on a filesystem that does not support larger amounts of extended attributes natively. (EXT4 doesn’t and XFS does, for example.) And yes, not all files are always cleaned up correctly, but doing so is difficult when there are a lot of things that can copy or delete files and attributes.
The KDL on the other hand is somewhat expected when using SMP in tandem with “enable onscreen debug output”.
