===================================================================================================================================================================== upgrading to 2.6.29-rc2-git1 did allow me to use most of the space but i still can't quite use all of it. maybe this is to be expected. (note: i'm just trying testing now, everything i used to have on my old partition fits. i'm just trying to understand what exactly is 'full'. it seems the file system is 'holding something back' i included a dumo of df, df -i and tune2fs -l /dev/hda2 (and partition that has ext4 is the / partition or /dev/hda2) victor On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 6:04 PM, Theodore Tso < tyt ... @mit.edu > wrote: On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 04:18:35PM +0100, Victor Pelt wrote: i set the number mounted counter to 31, which forced fsck to run on the next reboot. I rebooted, fsck didn't show any erros, but i still got the no space left error when i tried to copy files to the partition. OK, if a reboot didn't help, I'll bet I know what happened. E2fsprogs changed the default default inode ratio, which means that number of inodes being created is half what it was previously. If you do a "df -i", you'll probably see that you have exhausted the number of inodes in the filesystem. The default inode ratio controlled by /etc/mke2fs.conf, and is currently 16k. That is, it assumes the average size of files on the filesystem is at least 16k. (It previously was 8k.) For large filesystems, this is not a problem; I'm guessing that you have a small root filesystem, and probably are using a hard-coded /dev partition, so the large number of (zero-length) device files is throwing off the average. If you recreate the filesystem with mke2fs -I 8192, it should allow you to copy over all of your files in the root filesystem. Finally, note that we made this change for all ext2/3/4 filesystems, so this is not unique to ext4; it's just that you reformatted your root filesystem for the first time since upgrading to a newer e2fsprogs with the changed default, and you ran into this problem. If there are enough people who are using small root filesystems, maybe we'll need to have some adjusted hueristics. Right now we have "floppy" for filesystems less than 3 megs, "small" for filesystems less than 512 megs, and every thing else is default. Maybe we need to have a "medium" for filesystems smaller than 10 gigs, perhaps, and use a default inode ratio of 8192 for medium-sized filesystems.... - Ted Bahia was the lead ship of her class of cruisers built for Brazil by Armstrong Whitworth in the United Kingdom. Six months after her 21 May 1910 commissioning, crewmen aboard the ship mutinied during the Revolta da Chibata (English: Revolt of the Whip), killing one of the ship's officers during the four-day rebellion. During the First World War, Bahia and her sister ship Rio Grande do Sul were assigned to the Divisão Naval em Operações de Guerra (English: Naval Division in War Operations), the Brazilian Navy's main contribution in that conflict. Based out of Sierra Leone and Dakar, the squadron escorted convoys through an area believed to be heavily patrolled by U-boats. Between the wars, Bahia underwent a major overhaul and modernization and was mobilized against multiple rebellions. In the Second World War, Bahia was once again used as a convoy escort, sailing over 100,000 nautical miles (190,000 km; 120,000 mi) in 358 total days of sailing. On 4 July 1945 she was acting as a plane guard for transport aircraft flying from the Atlantic to Pacific theaters of war. While Bahia's gunners were firing at a kite for anti-aircraft practice, one aimed too low and hit depth charges stored near the stern of the ship, resulting in a massive explosion that incapacitated the ship and sunk her within minutes. Only a small portion of the crew survived the blast, and even fewer were still living when their rafts were discovered days later. Conspiracy theories disputing this story and involving rogue German U-boats persist to this day.
