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 ?
