@realazyria Hi,

Can you go to http://recalbox/help then create a support archive and post it ?

@realazyria Thanks. Can you open a root session to your RPI, and enter this command please: bash -x /recalbox/scripts/upgrade/recalbox-upgrade.sh canupgrade

What is the result ?

Hi,

I was facing the same issue.

The reason:

GUI shows 98% of free space, but this is only on ROM directory.

To see the real occupation in all share directory, you need to go to command line and perform command "df -h".

By this I could see that disk was full.

After delete some roms was possible to successfully update.

Hope that this info helps.

Regards,

Cotox.

Root has a percentage of free space reserved.

Login as root via ssh
Password is recalboxroot

Run df -h
If it shows the size for "Available" as being "0" and "Use" as 100%, but "Used" is < "Size"...

Run dumpe2fs /dev/mmcblk0p3 | grep -i reserved
This will prove the space is reserved.

Now that space was reserved for the root user so to reclaim that space, run
tune2fs -m 0 /dev/mmcblk0p3

Now the root user can run out of space and there are some possible problematic issues that could occur, but you can use your full capacity.

Warning: This should only be performed by power users who are not afraid of the command line and understand the commands they are running.
