Re: create/symlink failed, no inodes free
The same error appeared frequently when I tried to install FreeBSD on an 8.5GB partition. Apparently it was because the root partition was running out of space. So instead of using the auto-option to divide up and create the different (logical?) partitions I created one root partition that is 8000MB and a swap partition that is ~500MB. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/create-symlink-failed%2C-no-inodes-free-t598801.html#a2450263 Sent from the freebsd-questions forum at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When you create the new / filesystem, you may need to add the option to increase the inodes generated. see newfs(8) option -i. Is the install process far enough along that it started the emergency holographic shell? If so, then you should be able to go to the shell (Alt-F4) and see if df has been installed: # df -i ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: /: create/symlink failed, no inodes free
i've manually created partition and slices - the same thing happens. i've formated the disk with dos startup disk.. happens the same. but the funny thing is, that freebsd formats the disk itself, and then tries to install base - it doesn't start with 0% but with 2% - and stays there. could installer be broken? imho, someone else would have the same problem..

Re: no inodes free error, yet there ARE inodes free!
u got much small files on your computer. the problem is (i think) that you dont have another inode free to create the next file that uses the blocks beside the used inode with his blocks... but i also dont know if the os is left space on the device. and simple uses the next free inode to create the small file... and the free block is used next time u write a big file whitch is filling your left blocks...

Running out of inodes means you've run out of space for directory entries, and thus can't create any new files. df -hi will tell you how many inodes are available on your filesystems. Short-term, the solution is to delete some files off your /var partition. Long term, you may need to reformat /var with more inodes than the default, if this is a chronic problem. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
