You have 2 partitions on you're device, one called :

"Private"

This is for you and you're personal stuff.

One called :

"System"

This is for the iOS, it's where Apple store system files and Cydia stores all of your jailbreak files.

The message is due to you filling the iOS "System" partition.

You're "Private" storage has 6 GB left but you're "System" storage is full and needs things to be moved ... We call this stashing.

It's frustrating not having enough space to install tweaks, especially on a 8GB/16GB or 32GB device.

If you do not clean out the "System" partition you're device will stop you from installing stuff and give you a new error :

"failed in buffer_write(fd) (7, ret=-1)

sub-process /user/bin/dpkg returned an error"

You need to "Stash" some stuff .... Now (°_°)

Open Cydia and tap "Sources"

Now tap "Edit" then "Add"

Add the following repository :

https://coolstar.org/publicrepo

When source has been added tap "Return to Cydia"

Tap "Search" and type in the following :

Stashing for iOS 9.2 – 10.2 package

Install it and you're "Storage almost full" message will go away.

Untill you fill it again (O_O)

Reinstall it.

C.L.G · March 10, 2017

Reinstall it.

is there an option somewhere to stash everything so there's more space?

Stashing will only work if you have the tweak from his repo any other repo it fails to do it's job, also remove languages you don't need

wheres the options for stashing? Also is there a way to stash everything after you install it, or do you have to reinstall the tweaks for it to stash?
