Description Stoicescu Cornel 2012-12-03 15:44:09 UTC
1. Download the source and set build environment.
2. Follow the meta-yocto/conf/local.conf.sample.extended to enable disk monitor. For example, add the following lines to conf/local.conf:
BB_DISKMON_DIRS = "STOPTASKS,${TMPDIR},40G,4510K"
BB_DISKMON_WARNINTERVAL = "50M,5K"
3. Run "bitbake core-image-sato" to build a image.

Notice error: 
"
ERROR: No new tasks can be excuted since the disk space monitor action is "STOPTASKS"!
ERROR: Unknown event: <bb.event.DiskFull object at 0x2ab6310>
"

Note: Disk space monitor is apparently working fine, it stops bitbake from creating new tasks. Also the ABORT and WARN options work as they should.

Tested on:

Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.17.0"
BUILD_SYS         = "x86_64-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING   = "Ubuntu-12.04"

MACHINE           = "qemux86-64"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.3+snapshot-20121203"
