From: bilan@cps.msu.edu (Thomas J Bilan) Subject: Linux says hd's out of room: IMPOSSIBLE Date: 1 Sep 1993 20:55:12 GMT
I have a 100 meg hard drive that I totally dedicated to linux yesterday
but when I paritioned it, I received a message that said I couldn't use
some 85000 blocks of this partition. I found the message in the FAQ list
and it said to ignore it.
Anyway, all I have on there is the SLS a1-a4 disks and maybe another 2 meg
of stuff I've collected in the last 24 hours. Not even near 100 meg (we're
talking light years away from 100 meg).
I was d/ling something to my terminal (because DIP isn't working yet ?!@#)
and I ran out of space. df /dev/hdb showed:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hdb 109823 109474 0 100%
After running fdisk /dev/hdb and displaying the partition table I have:
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks ID System
/dev/hdb1 1 1 832 109823+ 83 Linux Extfs
I think I'm going to compile my own FAQ for newbies from a newbie perspective
because I have a new problem about every hour :)
