Title: No Space on Device (SD)
Post by: chayimkirshen on November 05, 2004, 10:09:30 am

All,

I've got a 256mb SD card (Sandisk) in my Z.  I've been using it for about 2 years (tops), and it was 71mb free.  Suddenly yesterday my Z has started to complain that there's no space left on the device when I try to scp files over to the card.

I've tried writing a file in vi (with contents of course) only to find out that I can't write these files to disk.  I can touch files, but not add content.  There's tonnes of space available on / (1 meg or so), so that's not the issue.

Is this a card failure thing?  Is there something I'm missing?  I've got an SL-5000d with OZ 3.3.5.

Try:

# cd /mnt/card
# du

to see which directory is taking up all of the space.

Perhaps run fsck on it...?

The du is reporting the way I want to, in that nothing unexpected/untowards is happening.  However, I haven't fscked the card in ages/ever.  Maybe it's time.  I guess I'll unmount it and everything.  Very scary.

There have been some reports of Z's mounting the SD cards as read only after a reboot or a suspend.  It hasn't happened to me, but that is also something you might want to check.

I've fscked the sd card, and I guess we'll just wait to see what will happen.  Thanks for the idea.
