If you try it a second time, does it succeed? Or does it always fail in the same spot? The error message error code Text file busy suggests some kind of race condition or file corruption, which might not be reproducible.

[mjsduncan]

it stopped in the middle of the eva-opencog image two different times with intervals of several hours between but it finished just now, third times a charm!

Strange. Are you RAM-constrained? Heavy paging?

[mjsduncan]

there's gigabytes free. i habitually have 40-50 tabs open on chromium, but that shouldn't be an issue if there's free ram?
