Zstd: No space left on device (cannot write compressed block) while installing davinci resolve

I have ~ 180gb left on my sdd, but I am getting this error when trying to install davinci-resolve from the aur. Not sure what is wrong & googling zstd didn’t bring any usable results

Summary
[twiggeh@twiggeh-linux ~]$ yaourt -S davinci-resolve

The problem isn’t caused by zstd ─ which is a compression algorithm, now used as the default compression method for Manjaro and Arch packages ─ but with the fact that there’s not enough free space left on the filesystem that yaourt is using for building the package.

yaourt was already no longer supported when I first installed Manjaro in April 2019, and so I’ve never used it. But I do know that yay builds its packages in your $HOME and that trizen builds them in /tmp, which in Manjaro is on a tmpfs.

So, you’re going to have to see what takes up all the space on whatever device yaourt is writing to. :man_shrugging:

I suspect that yaourt is using /tmp, which is half your RAM, by default.

So check if your /tmp is getting full with df -h. Davinci Resolve is a huge package after all.

Seems that it is using 1%

Even when it’s building/compressing the package?

You are correct! It runs out of space during the build ;-;
What would be the fix for this :D?

Download the tarball containing the PKGBUILD file. Unpack it and run makepkg -scri inside the folder containing the PKGBUILD.

It seems to work nicely now :smiley:
Thanks for your help!
I assume that I can remove the stuff left over in the folder that I was running makepkg in

Yes. Only the sources should be left behind.
