We're aware of the issue (see e.g. #2255) but there isn't really anything we can do about it.

https://codereview.chromium.org/2019133002/. Ran into the problem myself and that patch works, but I have no idea if I’m doing it right or if it’s still the right place anymore.

[diosney]

OK, good to know, but I think I will be using another partition I have for node then.

Thanks

@diosney What I usually do is either build with ./configure --without-inspector or, if I’m feeling up for it, apply my gyp patch myself (addaleax/node@4747d1b).

[diosney]

@addaleax Tested with ./configure --without-inspector and worked fine, but I will just use another unencrypted partition I have only for node, just in case, but it will be good that a permanent solution can land in node so I can use my normal dev folder :) (as your gyp patch).

Thanks
