/home Full C3100 Help!
« on: August 22, 2005, 11:44:42 pm »
Hi all, I just got a new c3100 in Japan about two weeks ago and have been loving it. I have been using meanie's guide here:
http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/
It has been great. Well, after installing a bunch of apps I noticed that I was getting kinda low on space on the /home drive (about 12MB left out of 89MB). That wasn't a problem until, I tried reinstalling Debian Pocketworkstation using xqt-debian-install.sh version 0.3.7. It failed saying that I was out of room on /home. I checked it (df -h) and sure enough it was completely full.

I tried running meanie's script to move all the . files out of /home/zaurus and that only freed up about 300K. I have been looking all over my /home drive to find the culprit but can't seem to. Anyone have any advice on where to look to free up more space? I want to get Debian back on. I was liking it alot but needed to install Open Office.

Any and All help is appreciated

Rob

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I am running the stock Sharp Rom...

You probably filled up /hdd2 already. On the c3000, /home is stored on flash which is only 16MB and /home is allocated 4MB of it.
The c3100 has 128MB flash as far as i know, and i guess, both /home and your applications are installed there.
I have about 240MB of applications under /hdd2 (which is why I had to use cramfs to compress some of them)
See whether there is anything on /hdd2 (i assume that is where the flash is mounted but i don't really know for sure since i dont have a c3100 yet) that can be moved off to /hdd3 and/or compressed

Meanie, Thanks for the reply. BTW you have a killer site for this stuff. Thanks for putting it out there for us!

On a df -h hdd2 shows up as only 9.5MB (hdd1 is the same) so I guess I would want to move stuff to hdd3.  Both hdd1 and hdd2 only have 1MB of the 9.5MB used. Any help on what to move/link? I have read in some threads that some stuff cannot be moved to the microdrive due to boot and suspend issues that may affect stability. As I mentioned in the first post I have already run your script to move all the . files.

Actually it is "df -h" without the quotes. -h is for human readable I believe...

quick update: I freed up about 1MB by clearing the netfront3 cache. I'm still wondering what else I can move off of there to make more room. Are there any other log files besides dmesg? I looked in /var/log and there isn't much there...

Another quick update:
I created about 10MB of space by uninstalling FireFox. I realized that I had a different version running in Debian PocketWorkstation already. So I really didn't need it in X/Qt.

quick question (almost related).  If the 128 is used for home, then where does the hdd3 (~3GB?) user space reside in the filesystem scheme?

If you do a "df -h" you should see it mounted on /dev/hda3.

I don't have 3100 (yet).  Where does /dev/hda3 mount to?

On a C3000 /dev/hda3 is mounted to /hdd3

Can someone post the output of df -h for a C3100 and maybe if possible also the directory structure so I will be able to build more compatible ipks. you probably can run `ls -RF|grep /`

Meanie,
Here is the df -h
# df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs                   32.0M     32.0M         0 100% /
/dev/root                32.0M     32.0M         0 100% /
/dev/mtdblock3           89.0M     73.4M     15.6M  82% /home
/dev/ram1                44.0k     29.0k     15.0k  66% /dev
none                      1.0M     36.0k    988.0k   4% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1                 9.5M      1.0M      8.0M  11% /hdd1
/dev/hda2                 9.5M      1.0M      8.0M  11% /hdd2
/dev/hda3                 3.8G      1.3G      2.5G  34% /hdd3  

I am having trouble with the ls -RF | grep /
I am getting a bunch of garbage characters, then when I try to highlight it to copy it kills the terminal.

I:ll give it another go.
