Hi,
I was wondering why Eclipse wouldn't start up anymore, without any hint,
and found out it was because I ran out of diskspace.
Even though I've got less than 250megs of plugins, the p2 directory already
contains 1.1 Gigs.
There must be something wrong if there's more metadata than data...
/usr/local/eclipse-3.4.1$ du -sh features/ plugins/
5,1M features/
243M plugins/
/usr/local/eclipse-3.4.1$ du -sh p2/
1,1G p2/
This was a plain 3.4 installation, upgraded to 3.4.1, with
- birt
- emf
- gef
- dtp
installed additionally.
Cheers,
Carsten

Wow.
Is there a particular file (or files) that is huge in there, or is it just
a whole bunch of average-sized ones?

Wow, that is impressive or well... not good.
It would be good to get a rough breakdown of diskspace usage one level down
in the p2 folder.
With that said... it sounds like for whatever reason on every restart your
profile is getting altered.
Could you confirm and then please open a bug.
The easiest way to confirm this is to see if a new profile is written on
every restart -- look in
" p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/SDKProfile. profile " for a
new .profile file to be written.
Short term...
If my guess is right then the
" p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/SDKProfile. profile " must
have hundreds if not thousands of .profile files.
We intend to use old profiles for rollback and plan to do so in 3.5 however
in 3.4 strictly speaking you only need the latest profile file so you can
safely delete all but say the last five.

Hi all,
I have the same problem, although it isn't quite as drastic in my case: I have a total of 560M of plugins and a p2 directory looming at an
impressive 900M.
p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/SDKProfile. profile accounts for 860M of that. There's 86 profile files in there and it
doesn't look like there's a new profile written on each start. The first profile files were all around 2M, but most are between 9.5 and 12M.
cheers,
another Carsten
