The Disk full message does not distinguish between the volume for the new archive and the -b (work) volume

The zip Disk full message does not distinguish between the volume for the new archive and the -b (work) volume

[Silvan Scherrer]

thanks for the info. When time permits or someone sponsors the fix we will look at it.

[Silvan Scherrer]

please give an example of the message and what message you would expect. also try the same on nix and see what message is sent there.

[Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz]

What I get is

zip I/O error: Disk full
zip error: Output file write failure (write error on zip file)

What I would expect is something like

zip I/O error: Target Disk full
zip error: Output file write failure (write error on zip file)

or

zip I/O error: Work Disk full
zip error: Output file write failure (write error on work file)

depending on what was full.

I'll try it on openSUSE Linux.

[Silvan Scherrer]

any news?

[Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz]

It turns out that the work directory option does not exist in Linux. It probably exists in DOS and windoze.

[Silvan Scherrer]

I did a quick code check. And neither DOS nor Win have a different message in this part. It's always:

zip I/O error: Disk full
zip error: Output file write failure (write error on zip file)

I'm not so sure if it's worth to change that.
