I keep getting this error, whenever I attempt to apply an update to my ESX 4 server...
#esxupdate --bundle ESX-4.0.0-update01a.zip update
ESX-4.0.0-update01a.zip
Encountered error FileIOError:
The error data is:
Filename - None
Message - I/O Error (28) on file : no space left on device
Errno - 10
Description - Unable to create, write or read a file as expected.
FYI the update is located in /var/updates
Help is appreciated.

Using the command 'vdf -h' to view what free space is available on hypervisor.

yep, / is full. remove all files /var/spool/esxupdate and /var/core, look for any other files taking up lots of space. check /root and /vmimages for .iso files that may have been uploaded, too.
Oops, ESX4. check /var/cache/esxupdate for previously cached update files, iirc.

Sorry I can't help, but am having the same problem on one host. The other host, same config, no issue. If I find the answer will post back here.

Thanks, after removing the files in /var/cache/esxupdate & /tmp/updatecache everything installed.
Another thing that caused this problem, was that I SFTP'd all the other updates I needed into the same directory that was full. So I just moved them to a filesystem that could hold them (/var/log).
How do I clear /var/cache/esxupdate on ESX 4.0
esxupdate --flushcache is not working..
Hi,
rm -rf /var/cache/esxupdate will work.
