I am trying to build AOSP image on my mac Book using Linux virtual box.
Since I don’t have enough space on Mac I am trying to checkoutAOSP on external 2 TB Segate HDD which I planned to use for build.
I have installed repo tool and python 2.7 but when I try to init repo with this command
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
It fail with this error message
hitesh@hitesh-VirtualBox:/media/hitesh/2TB/test$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest Get https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest Traceback (most recent call last): File "/media/hitesh/2TB/test/.repo/repo/main.py", line 531, in <module> _Main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/media/hitesh/2TB/test/.repo/repo/main.py", line 507, in _Main result = repo._Run(argv) or 0 File "/media/hitesh/2TB/test/.repo/repo/main.py", line 180, in _Run result = cmd.Execute(copts, cargs) File "/media/hitesh/2TB/test/.repo/repo/subcmds/init.py", line 399, in Execute self._SyncManifest(opt) File "/media/hitesh/2TB/test/.repo/repo/subcmds/init.py", line 171, in _SyncManifest m._InitGitDir(mirror_git=mirrored_manifest_git) File "/media/hitesh/2TB/test/.repo/repo/project.py", line 2292, in _InitGitDir self._UpdateHooks() File "/media/hitesh/2TB/test/.repo/repo/project.py", line 2312, in _UpdateHooks self._InitHooks() File "/media/hitesh/2TB/test/.repo/repo/project.py", line 2341, in _InitHooks os.symlink(os.path.relpath(stock_hook, os.path.dirname(dst)), dst) OSError: [Errno 38] Function not implemented

Answer
I figured it out repo cant be initialise on an external hdd. I had to create a vdi file on my external hard disk and then use that to download aosp source code.
