Title: 3.5.3 Root Fs Full On 5600?
Post by: radioz on June 12, 2005, 07:39:44 pm

I just installed 3.5.3 on my Poodle and discovered that the root fs '/' is full.

According to df I get:

Code: [Select]

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mtdblock2           22528     22528         0 100% /
/dev/mtdblock3           35840      1464     34376   4% /home
tmpfs                    15000       812     14188   5% /var
/dev/mmcda1              29176     19001     10176  65% /media/card
/dev/mmcda2             212694     30257    171455  15% /media/card1

This shows that there is no more room left in the root partition. Why is that?

How many mtdblock's should there be for the Poodle?
Blocks 2 and 3 don't add up to 64K. Do I need to re-format or something?

Has nybody else seen this and found a solution?

Thanks,

radioz

Is this straight after you flashed? If so, it's a little odd - have you resized your partitions?

Otherwise you should install stuff to your home partition.

I don't remember what my poodle showed right after install, but here it is now after installing lots of stuff:

Code: [Select]

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mtdblock2           22528     21524      1004  96% /
/dev/mtdblock3           35840     22604     13236  63% /home
tmpfs                    15000        68     14932   0% /var
/dev/mmcda1             786928    746768     40160  95% /media/card
/dev/mmcda2             202225    126462     65321  66% /media/card1I setup an install dest to my home partition:

Code: [Select]

dest root /
dest card /media/card1/packages
dest home /home/packagesI never install to root, leaving the space for upgrades & symlinks.

What does yours show after a reboot?

Well, this is wierd.

After my post, I ended up resetting my Poodle and after it booted up, everything was fine.

This makes me nervous. I don't know what it is that I did that caused this. I have been trying to get usb networking going and so had connected and disconnected the usb connection and connecting it to my ethernet connection. I'm finding that networking is not very robust. It doesn't seem to handle reconnects very gracefully.

Thanks for the replies. I hope this does not happen again!

It would appear that jffs2 doesn't actually release free space until one reboots.
