failed X11 install, now what?
This is what I found on the screen this morning after letting make all install clean run all night: /usr: write failed, file system is full /usr/bin/tar: xc/fonts/util/KOI8-R.TXT: Wrote only 0 of 10240 bytes /usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next header /usr/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4. # # df Filesystem 1K-blocksUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a128990 35170 8350230%/ /dev/ad0s1f257998 284 237076 0%/tmp /dev/ad1s1e 2030062 2015906 -148248 108%/usr /dev/ad0s1e2579982762 234598 1%/var procfs 4 4 0 100%/proc Which brings to mind a couple questions. 1. ad1 is a 2GB ide slaved to ad0 which is only 1GB - what must I do immediately to clear space on ad1 or is nothing impacted with the disk being over full? 2. just how much space should I need? I know that's a loaded question, but I have another 2.5GB ide I could slave to the secondary port off the cdrom, or swap some disks around with other networks or; hard to plan unless I can make guesstimates about the future; is there a space planning guide around somewhere. 3. apologies in advance for my ignorance, am just very new to this and nowhere near done with a first read through of the Handbook Thanks in advance.
