System says "No space left", but it's wrong!!!

[pmgas]

Hi

I have a strange problem, my gentoo webserver says that
there is no space left ... for example after rsync, starting
services ...

emerge rsync

mkstemp "/var/tmp/.timestamp.chk.g7BJwZ" failed: No space left on device


/etc/init.d/local start

/sbin/runscript.sh: line 387: /var/lib/init.d/local-6988: No space left on device


df says:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 2.3G 1.3G 939M 58% /
/dev/sda5 463M 32M 408M 8% /tmp
/dev/sda6 656M 527M 96M 85% /var

/dev/vgWWW/logMYSQL 97M 12M 81M 13% /var/lib/mysql
/dev/vgWWW/logPEDA 97M 18M 75M 19% /home/peda


Has anybody a solution?

thanxs

PS: I used genkernel, and I know that there was a bug, maybe it
has something to do with that also?

unmount ur /var and fsck it
Perhaps some i-node probs or something....

Hi !

I got exactly the same problem, with gentoo live CD 2004.2, trying a stage 1 install :

livecd gentoo # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 109M 2.9M 106M 3% /
/newroot/dev/cdroms/cdrom0
605M 605M 0 100% /mnt/cdrom
/dev/loop/0 70M 70M 0 100% /mnt/livecd
/dev/hda1 603M 338M 235M 60% /mnt/gentoo

livecd gentoo # touch /mnt/gentoo/bla
touch: cannot touch `/mnt/gentoo/bla': No space left on device


I made an e2fsck.

demsg nor any files in /var/log say anything.

Any idea ?

Thanks ![/b]

Maybe you have run out of inodes. Post the results of

Maybe the partition is out of inodes, you can see this with :

i'm getting same error on pretty much any command i try to perform.just installed gentoo on laptop. i ran the above on root partition, got this:
tux root # tune2fs -l /dev/hda7 | grep "[Bb]lock\|[Ii]node"

when run the other one:
tux root # df -i

im also getting this when trying to install gnome:
tux root # emerge --pretend gnome xscreensaver

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

alos get this on portage update:
