Conserving Disk Space
|
||||
*********************
|
||||
|
||||
Conserving Disk Space During Builds
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
To help conserve disk space during builds, you can add the following
|
||||
statement to your project's ``local.conf`` configuration file found in
|
||||
the :term:`Build Directory`::
|
||||
|
||||
INHERIT += "rm_work"
|
||||
|
||||
Adding this statement deletes the work directory used for
|
||||
building a recipe once the recipe is built. For more information on
|
||||
"rm_work", see the :ref:`ref-classes-rm-work` class in the
|
||||
Yocto Project Reference Manual.
|
||||
|
||||
When you inherit this class and build a ``core-image-sato`` image for a
|
||||
``qemux86-64`` machine from an Ubuntu 22.04 x86-64 system, you end up with a
|
||||
final disk usage of 22 Gbytes instead of &MIN_DISK_SPACE; Gbytes. However,
|
||||
&MIN_DISK_SPACE_RM_WORK; Gbytes of initial free disk space are still needed to
|
||||
create temporary files before they can be deleted.
|
||||
|
||||
Purging Obsolete Shared State Cache Files
|
||||
=========================================
|
||||
|
||||
After multiple build iterations, the Shared State (sstate) cache can contain
|
||||
multiple cache files for a given package, consuming a substantial amount of
|
||||
disk space. However, only the most recent ones are likely to be reused.
|
||||
|
||||
The following command is a quick way to purge all the cache files which
|
||||
haven't been used for a least a specified number of days::
|
||||
|
||||
find build/sstate-cache -type f -mtime +$DAYS -delete
|
||||
|
||||
The above command relies on the fact that BitBake touches the sstate cache
|
||||
files as it accesses them, when it has write access to the cache.
|
||||
|
||||
You could use ``-atime`` instead of ``-mtime`` if the partition isn't mounted
|
||||
with the ``noatime`` option for a read only cache.
|
||||
|
||||
For more advanced needs, OpenEmbedded-Core also offers a more elaborate
|
||||
command. It has the ability to purge all but the newest cache files on each
|
||||
architecture, and also to remove files that it considers unreachable by
|
||||
exploring a set of build configurations. However, this command
|
||||
requires a full build environment to be available and doesn't work well
|
||||
covering multiple releases. It won't work either on limited environments
|
||||
such as BSD based NAS::
|
||||
|
||||
sstate-cache-management.py --remove-duplicated --cache-dir=sstate-cache
|
||||
|
||||
This command will ask you to confirm the deletions it identifies.
|
||||
Run ``sstate-cache-management.sh`` for more details about this script.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
As this command is much more cautious and selective, removing only cache files,
|
||||
it will execute much slower than the simple ``find`` command described above.
|
||||
Therefore, it may not be your best option to trim huge cache directories.
