[Voyage-linux] "no space left on device" error but I have a lot of free space....

[Pablo Escobar]

Hi,

I have been using the stable version of voyage linux installed on a alix board with a 4gb 
flash card working great for many months but now I have found a really strange problem.

I have plenty of free space on the flash card. Here you can see output of "df" command on 
voyage machine:

voyage:/var/tftpboot.old# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs                3.8G  305M  3.3G   9% /
udev                   10M   20K   10M   1% /dev
/dev/disk/by-label/ROOT_FS	
                      3.8G  305M  3.3G   9% /
/dev/disk/by-label/ROOT_FS
                      3.8G  305M  3.3G   9% /dev/.static/dev
tmpfs                 126M     0  126M   0% /lib/init/rw
tmpfs                 126M     0  126M   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                 8.0M 1020K  7.1M  13% /rw


but when I run "remountw" on voyage machine and try to upload a 195M file from my personal 
computer I get a "no space left" error which I don´t understand

[mypc][/var/tmp]$ du -sh tftpboot.tar.gz
195M    tftpboot.tar.gz

[mypc][esplinter][/var/tmp]$ scp tftpboot.tar.gz root at voyage:/tmp
root at voyage's password:
tftpboot.tar.gz                                                                                                                                                                                            
100%  194MB   4.0MB/s   00:49
scp: /tmp/tftpboot.tar.gz: No space left on device

After the "no space left" error the md5sum of the uploaded file is wrong and I cant 
decompress it.  I have also tried to upload to differents directories and to upload all 
the files after decomprising them on my personal computer but nothing worked.

I haven´t found any message with similar problem on the mailing list and I have been 
thinking to disable the /ro and /rw stuff as explained here
http://wiki.voyage.hk/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=remove_ro

¿does anyone knows if doing this can solve my problem?? ¿Maybe is there any other 
workaround?

many thanks in advance for any help.

Pablo.
