qbittorent complains about full disk

[Chuck Finley]

 An error occured (full disk?)
OS: Xubuntu Intrepid Ibex x86_64

Torrent starts downloading for a few seconds and then pauses giving the above error. No folders are created in the download directory. The disk has plenty of free space left. This only seems to affect torrents larger than a few megabytes. Small torrents download just fine.

I'm pretty sure libtorrent wouldn't ever report an error like that: "An error occured (full disk?)". libtorrent only reports system errors, like the ones you et from strerror().

So, my question is. What makes you think this is a libtorrent error? And, what is the error libtorrent reports?

[arvid Norberg (arvid-cs)]

Also, "occured" is misspelled which makes me think it's even less likely to originate from the OS. My best guess would be that this error message is generated by qBittorrent.

[Christophe Dumez (hydr0g3n)]

I generate this error when I receive a file_error_alert.

And the real error message is displayed in stdout if qbittorrent is compiled with debug enabled.

[arvid Norberg (arvid-cs)]

So, qBittorrent should report the actual error instead of suggesting to the user that the disk is full, which in this case was misleading.

[Christophe Dumez (hydr0g3n)]

The problem was internationalization. Libtorrent errors cannot be translated
I believe.

Ok. So I'll close http://code.rasterbar.com/libtorrent/ticket/429 then.

[Christophe Dumez (hydr0g3n)]

hydri? what about the reason for this error? any idea? I thought it could be
a permission problem but the user says it works for small torrents.

I reported the bug on your tracker because I don't believe the error is
right. Sure I could display libtorrent exact error in qbittorrent but this
is another issue and thisdoes not change the fact that the error should not
have been occurred in the first place.

Do you know what the error message is?

Without knowing that, there's no way of telling if it's right or wrong. There are tons of other potential errors that can occur. The filenames can be too long for instance. On windows vista there's an error that occur of sparse files have too many sparse regions in them.

It's not a bug in and of itself to report errors. It's quite deliberate that torrents are paused if the OS reports an error, and that the error the OS reports is passed on the the higher levels. If you think a specific error should not have been reported, include the error and what you would have expected libtorrent to do instead of reporting the error.

angryhomer17> Could you please compile qbittorrent with DEBUG enabled (DEBUG=1 in src/src.pro then recompile). The exact error message will then display in console.

[Chuck Finley (greeneggs7)]

Ok, so I followed the wiki page and used the python script to install libtorrent and qbittorrent. That messed up bc the script installs libtorrent-rasterbar 0.13 instead of 0.14 which qbittorrent complains about. I followed the install instructions line by line; libtorrent-rasterbar installed fine, ver 0.14, but qbittorrent fails at make. Attached is the output of make.

Can I enable debug as an option without having to compile from source? Or how can I fix make?

[Christophe Dumez (hydr0g3n)]

you probavbly have libtorrent installed in both /usr/include and /usr/local/include ...

You did not need to install libtorrent v0.14. Only qbittorrent svn/trunk requires it. Simply uninstall libtorrent v0.14 and compile qbittorrent v1.2.x from qbittorrent.org/

[Chuck Finley (greeneggs7)]

I removed all libtorrent and qbittorrent files, installed libtorrent 0.13 from synaptic and tried compiling qbittorrent from source, but the config failed bc Error: need libtorrent-rasterbar >= 0.13!

I tried installing qbittorrent from getdeb.net which also complained about needing libtorrent-rasterbar >= 0.13! So, I reinstalled libtorrent-rasterbar from getdeb.net and tried compiling qbittorrent but got the same error.

Finally, I installed the qbittorrent deb package and what do you know, it installed fine. So, I've completely jacked up something or left some residual files somewhere. Right now, I'm unable to get anywhere with the debug. Perhaps, I'll try to work on this with a live cd.

[Christophe Dumez (hydr0g3n)]

The reason is that you also need to install libtorrent-rasterbar-dev package in order to compile qbittorrent. libtorrent-rasterbar simply allows you to run qBT, not compile it.

[Chuck Finley (greeneggs7)]

I'm sorry. All this install and uninstall and I forgot the dev package. Well, of course it compiles now. I'm downloading a few 175 meg files and they appear to be working properly. There are no errors as of yet. Btw, I just wanted to say I really enjoy qbittorrent over other torrent programs. The integrated search is a lifesaver and I can download much faster (at least compared to transmission).
