Issue description

the pixi install of the above pixi.toml in a internal ssd works as expected.

BUT run it if move the pixi.toml in an external USB SSD give the following error:

ginetto@devlaptop:/media/ginetto/Toshiba-1T/EGEOS$ pixi install -v

nor cleaning cache change the issue.

Expected behavior

do not change installation behavior depending on mounted disk.

P.S. the external disk has 100GB of free space, so space is not the issue

My hunch is that it has to do with two different file systems.

• Could you check if you're running a different file system.
• Could you check if it works, if you set your PIXI_CACHE_DIR to a folder on your external disk.
