On an XO-1 running a freshly installed os883 release 11.3.0 with nothing in ~/Documents and hardly any Journal entries I was unable to successfully update using sudo olpc-update 12.1.0d_xo1-12 , it ran out of space. The 12.1.0 build is now up to 14, but I don't think it shrank between build 12 and 14. I had 297MB free beforehand, and only 14MB free after the update failed.
I wanted to try an upgrade using OLPC's simple offline update[1], but the download directory http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/candidate/12.1.0-14/ lacks a 21014o0.usb file. It does have a 21014o0.toc , what's that for if there's no .usb file? I had nothing important on the XO so I can just do a fresh install of 12.1.0, but if someone else is able to try an XO-1 online update from a fresh-ish 11.3.0 to 12.1.0 and has similar problems I think the release notes could usefully caution "You will *not* be able to update an XO-1 running 11.3.x unless you delete material from the standard installation so that you have over NNN MB free". Also, after a failed olpc-update, is there a guide to where the cruft I can remove is? Since 11.3.0 is a recent build, the guide to purging[2] doesn't apply; /versions/{contents,pristine,run} all only contain 883. `sudo du -sh /versions/*` says I have 901MB in /versions/pristine and 649MB in /versions/updates; combined that's more than the 1024MB flash size, so either they overlap or JFFS2 compression really works! Is it safe to remove the contents of /versions/updates?
