1079786 - [Flame] OTA updates fail (because of not enough space in /system?)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1073399

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

I haven't managed to get successful OTA updates recently (this may have started when updated to v180).
logcat says
I/GeckoUpdater( 3986): Progress [ ================================================   ]
I/GeckoUpdater( 3986): Progress [ =================================================  ]
I/GeckoUpdater( 3986): Progress [ ================================================== ]
I/GeckoUpdater( 3986): Finished applying update
I/GonkAutoMounter( 3986): Mounted /system partition as read-only
I/cat     (  228): <6>[  833.655094] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p12): re-mounted. Opts: (null)
I/Gecko   (  767): *** AUS:SVC readStatusFile - status: failed: 7, path: /data/local/updates/0/update.status
I/Gecko   (  767): UpdatePrompt: Update error, state: failed, errorCode: 7
I/Gecko   (  767): UpdatePrompt: Setting gecko.updateStatus: Install Pending
I/Gecko   (  767): *** AUS:SVC UpdateManager:refreshUpdateStatus - Notifying observers that the update was staged. state: pending, status: failed: 7


I did remove /system/b2g/updated and then
df:
/system                354.2M   286.8M    67.4M   4096


This is rather critical for dogfooding.

I'm using builds from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-flame-kk/

System space issue is covered by Bug 1078660, so I think this is a dupe.

And as noted in a response to my post there, this is covered in bug 1073399.

See bug 1073399 comment 24 for some things you can remove to free up space, as a local workaround. (but adjust the "rm" command to keep the fonts that mwu says are actually-needed at the end of that comment)  The bootanimation zip file (in /system/media I think) can also safely be deleted, from my experience, and IIRC that frees up another 7-10 MB, if you need it.

(This also isn't 2.2-specific; I hit this with 2.1 "aurora" flame builds, for example. Dropping [2.2] from summary.)
