I am trying to creat an iso from a cd I have. I put the cd into the drive and right clicked the mount and chose copy... I switched the default location from anouther cd to my personal folder and started the copy... but it does not start. It gives me an error message that says not enough disk space in selected folder... I know there is enough disk space... do I need to do somthing?
I am running mint 9.
not enough disk space error??

Re: not enough disk space error??
do you use a different /tmp partition than your /home?

Re: not enough disk space error??
I think I have just hit a similar problem. I run Mint 10 from a 8G pendrive on an eeepc. I tried to compress the eeepc windows XP C drive and output to a Network drive. It seemed to be working but I suddenly got the disk space message. I sort of panicked and tried to cancel but the process seemed to continue. Now when I boot I get the same disk space warning.
So I presume I now have some aborted files taking up space on my pendrive. Being a newbie I would welcome info on finding and tidying up the mess

I am also very interested to know about using a different /tmp partition that may help stop the problem occurring again.grimdestripador wrote:do you use a different /tmp partition than your /home?

Re: not enough disk space error??
OK - think I have found my leftover files in mint/.cache. Will it be OK to just delete them?

the .cache file.... i would say it is safe to delete them.
It is possible to specify your partitions manually such that out of space errors are limited to folders . Such that /, /tmp or /home could even be own harddrives. I was just wondering this. But it seems you don't, so i don't want to explain.

Re: not enough disk space error??
I got it to work... I don't know why i kept getting that error... I am working from a partition that is 250Gib so there is plenty of space... I got frustrated and restarted my computer and now i don't get that error anymore... Maybe it was just a glitch, but if I can get it to happen again I will post a screen shot of the error.
