buildroot-armeabihf-bootstrap.sh failed to complete - how do I uninstall or manually remove files

[cypherb]

Hello,

Today I tried running buildroot-armeabihf-bootstrap.sh on my QNAP TS-431 and quickly realized that my root partition did not have enough space. This caused the bootstrap script to fail with these errors and fill my 60MB / partition.

`
...

• copy_file_chunk: write: No space left on device.
• opkg_conf_write_status_files: Couldn't close //opt/lib/ipkg/status: No space left on device.
  =================================================================================
  Removing glibc-locale package to save space: this doesn't remove generated /opt/lib/locale/locale-archive
  No packages removed.
  `
  Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

The easiest way to overcome this is by symlinking /opt to your HDD(s):

drive="/share/MD0_DATA" # Since your QNAP is a multi-drives one; otherwise it would have been "/share/HDA_DATA"

mkdir -p "${drive}/optware/opt"

# make sure you don't have anything important under /opt before proceeding
rm -rf /opt

# create the symlink
ln -s "${drive}/optware/opt" /opt

Now you can re-run the bootstrap.
