Hi all,
I've got a problem with 'elkcmd' and building a small (128K) root image.
I've chopped down the list of things included so that it is less than 128K.
This was done whilst the disk image is 360K.
When I adjust the image size down to the 128K the 'MAKEDEV' script falls
over even though there is (appears) to be plenty of space. It is called
after the disk structure is created, but before the executables are copied
(which account for the most usage).
Here's a snippet of the errors with MAKDEV (run by hand) ...
leper:/mnt/dev # ./MAKEDEV
/bin/mknod: bdb: No space left on device
/bin/mknod: bdb1: No space left on device
/bin/mknod: bdb2: No space left on device
etc, etc,
leper:/mnt/dev # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda3 309M 291M 1.7M 99% /
/dev/hda1 1.2G 779M 420M 65% /dos
/dev/hda4 343M 277M 48M 85% /opt
/opt/src/elkscmd/root
122K 31K 91K 25% /mnt
leper:/mnt/dev #
Anyone got any bright ideas what's happening and how to solve it??
