OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device: '/usr/src/linux-2.4.18/net/econet'


The thing is I dont know why as far a I know I have lods of free space
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda6 9.6G 6.6G 2.5G 72% /
/dev/hda1 9.8G 4.6G 5.1G 48% /winnt
/dev/hda2 54G 26G 28G 48% /data

please help me I am sure it's got to be something stupid

Thanks

Are you installing over an existing dir /usr/src/linux-2.4.18/.... as none root user the problems seem to be that mkdir doesn't succeed instead of too little space. It just gives the wrong response because it can't create the dir it assumes that the disk is full. Another problem can be your inode count (using ext2 / ext3). every file / dir / link needs an inode. You can check this by using tune2fs -l /dev/hda6.

Hope it helps, lX

Ps: what filesystem are you using?

Thank you thats makes sense I think it might be the inode but will try later

DOH

I must of been pissed when I set the system up I have my file type as ext3 but it was being mounted as xfs I have now changed back fixed the few problems I had now all works
