Problems With Editing Rc.rofilesys
« on: October 19, 2005, 03:01:19 am »
I was changing the format of /hdd3 to ext3. When I try to edit /root/etc/rc.d/rc.rofilesys, I just could not save it.
An error message "no space left on device" occurred. I could only save it temporarily on /mnt/card. Whenever I used "rm" or "mv", I always got the same error message. What could I do to complete the last step for formating /hdd3 as ext3?  Thanks!!

Thanks for your quick reply. In fact, I've remounted root as rw.
I've seen three kinds of instructions:
      1. mount -o remount and rw /
           -> Error "mounting and on /rw failed: No such file or directory
      2. mount -o remount,rw /dev/root
           -> Error "can't find /dev/root in /etc/fstab
      3. mount -o remount,rw /
          This one succeeded, but I was greeted with the above problem.

Oh, I forgot to say that internal MD of my second-handed c3k had been replaced
by a 2GB Sandisk Ultra II CF card. Don't know if that matters.

sounds like your root partition is full. try reflashing it with the 1.11JP rom to clean it up.
