1. Re: CC apps install failed "insufficient disk space"
andrew867 Oct 19, 2013 7:15 AM (in response to andrew867)So I found the solution, the developers of the Creative Cloud installer seem to store downloaded files in /private/tmp and mine was only 256MB in a RAM disk.
Since I have an SSD I followed some simple directions to move /tmp and /private/tmp to a RAM disk. After much more searching I found another post (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1235272) that had a solution for my problem.
So to fix the "insufficient disk space on untitled" issue I moved (or you can delete) /System/Library/StartupItems/RamFS to disable the RamFS script from running on startup (I had no luck with chmod 000).
The ultimate solution to fix this is to get the Adobe developers to change the program to store temporary software downloads in a proper location and not rely on /private/tmp (or on Windows probably c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\temp). There should be an option in the preferences panel to select the temporary files location in case someone doesn't have space on the main disk (or c:\).
FYI this is the optimization page that recommened the RamFS: http://blog.alutam.com/2012/04/01/optimizing-macos-x-lion-for-ssd/
Hope this helps someone else out!
