can`t run osxphotos after killing it

[nbcjr]

using latest version 0.68.5 I was running osxphotos on a very large database 140000 photos, mostly online.

Then osxphotos gives an error about disk space and stops running, not even Crtl-C could stop the app, had to kill the id.

Tried to rerun it, with --update, now it won`t start. I know log says I have run out of space, but that is not the case, I triple checked on my local disk and the destination as well.

Hello @nbcjr. Yes, crash log does indicate::

sqlite3.OperationalError: database or disk is full

Diagnose

osxphotos is trying to open the osxphotos export database named .osxphotos_export.db which osxphotos is trying to read in order to be able to continue but it can't.

I see the output of your df. Just to double check, the destination folder '/Volumes/raiz/osxphotosexport' is on that same internal disk (raiz)?

FYI... my 106K Photos is currently using a 2GB .osxphotos_export.db

Recommendations

1. Do you see if the file '/Volumes/raiz/osxphotosexport/.osxphotos_export.db' exists and, if you have sqlite3 command utility available. if you can open it and run:

   $ sqlite3 /Volumes/raiz/osxphotosexport/.osxphotos_export.db
   SQLite version 3.37.0 2021-12-09 01:34:53
   Enter ".help" for usage hints.
   sqlite> SELECT osxphotos, exportdb, max(id) FROM version;
   0.68.5|10.0|1
   sqlite> .quit
   $

2. Other than that, this post sqlite3.OperationalError: database or disk is full makes several recommendations on lack of disk space in other areas like TEMP and not the main disk.

@nbcjr , were you able to make it work?
