Hello. I'm trying to create an internal freedb server on my home machine. this DB has very large directories with a lot of small entries.
I have it on a default ext3 partition, and it takes 2.4GB on the HD. The reason being that most the files are ~1K files. Since I had some space left, I created a 4GB partition and formated it with mkfs -t ext3 -b 1024 this went fine. however, when trying to copy the DB to the new partition, I have recieved "no space left on device" error repeatedly. The copying reduces 2GB into ~700MB before it exits, and trying to copy the remainder fails on the same error. df reports this partition has ~700M occupied, ~3.2GB free, so there really is space left on device. this happens both on redhat 7.3 and 8.0, default kernels. any ideas ? -- -- regards +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + Guy Baruch , Plasma Laboratory, Weizmann Institue. + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] + phone: 972-8-934-2211 +----------------------------------------------------------------------- They hang the man and flog the woman That steal the goose from off the common, But let the greater villain loose That steals the common from the goose. -- English folk poem, circa 1764 http://bostonreview.mit.edu/BR27.3/bollier.html ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
