Current Behaviour

Problem 1: tail.exe: write error: No space left on device
Problem 2: Chinese display garbled characters

Expected Behaviour

My C drive is confirmed to have enough disk space, why is the error "write error: No space left on device" reported?

I also confirmed that it has sufficient permissions, see screenshot above.

So, my desired result is that this command should output my logs normally.

Additional context/output

Possible Solution

System details

Microsoft Windows [ 10.0.19044.1526]

64bit

powershell 7.2.1

Additional software: [(optional) e.g. ConEmu, Git]

This looks like a problem with unxutils package, which is extremely extremely outdated. If you want more up to date coreutils, use the coreutils, uutils-coreutils or busybox (any one of these) package.

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I just moved from a linux environment to a windows environment and was looking for some linux-like command line toolkits.
Can you answer, which of these coreutils, uutils-coreutilsorbusybox` packages are more stable and better match the win environment?

[rashil2000]

I can't really comment on stability because I don't use any of them, but I'd recommend trying coreutils first.

uutils-coreutils is a rewrite of coreutils in Rust. See https://github.com/uutils/coreutils for more details.

busybox is a multi-call binary and supports common coreutils (Scoop will create shims for them).

I tried to install coreutils, but the tail below cannot run normally under powershell.
I finally tried busybox, it works fine, I didn't encounter any major problems, I can run tail directly under powershell.

What error do you get with coreutils?

What error do you get with coreutils?

Prompt me, tail.exe cannot be found, not a cmdlet similar information

[rashil2000]

It works for me:

[rashil2000]

Or you can just use Bash (which comes with Git for Windows). It will have the most stable and latest unix tools.

[Archer456]

Yes, I have the windows version of git-bash. use it too.
Just want to find some similar linux tools under powershell.

Added notes that directs the user to use uutils-coreutils instead.
