Free space doesn't include space used by unlinked files, as far as I know, so if df still reports 11GB free, it is maybe something else. Possible options I can think of: * the filesystem could be out of inodes rather than out of space. (Use 'df -i') * blocks reserved for the superuser (5% by default on ext2/ext3) -Willem Jan -- To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
