I have Kali Linux installed on an external hard drive connected to my desktop via USB. I am having no problems running pyrit against a handshake using the attack_ passthrough command. When I try to run pyrit against a handshake using either the attack_db or attack_batch commands I have problems. Just a few minutes into the process- I am confronted with an out of disc space error message.

My persistence partition is around 300 GB. I moved the imported password list in pyrit's blobspace folder to the persistence partition. No Workee! My next thought is to expand the size of the Kali Linux OS partition at the expense of the persistence partition on my external hard drive. Unfortunately, I cannot find any guidance on the internet. Does anyone know how much space pyrit needs to run the attack_db and attack_batch commands?
