Re: No space left on device

It worked perfect. I took the card, i removed from fstab  the line that used
to mount the flash and I managed to boot the system on the SD.

Thanks everyone for help.

 you could mount the sd card in your pc and modify the fstab of qt, to  
 mount only from sd.
 besides that, i would have expected it to mount /var ... to tmpfs, not  
 nand (or any physical storage at all).
 
 for a minimal system, using the sd card image created to flash the  
 firmware could help -- i think, it starts sshd, too.
 if you didn't flash the newer calypso firmware, it could be done now, and  
 if you flashed already, it doesn't harm.
 if you don't like it, you could remove the startup script from (probably)  
 /et/init.d/ and boot from the sd card then.

No space left on device

2009-06-09 Thread maryhit


I managed to make the root fs full and now I cannot boot any longer. 
What are the options (besides reflashing).

What I tried: 
- to bood from the SD in QT, but it is failing also (trying to mount
/var/something ) and stops

What might also work, but I need a confirmation: 
- make a image from the root fs (in jffs2 format), mount it in linux, clear
up some junk, put it back.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
P.S. can we put some kind of fool proof mode which will allow the usb
networking, without the need to write anything on the FS ?

I would also check to see if you are using u-boot or qi.  I think u-boot
only support partitions of certain sizes.

I use u-boot, but before both OSes were booting up properly. I suppose there
is no problem with it.

BTW, with QI can I have more than one OS on the SD and select which one to
boot up?
Thanks.
