pdaXrom crashed and is now telling me there is no room left in the / area whereas there was 14M free last time I checked. What's wrong and how can I resolve it?
Could it be coredumps?

check stuff like /var and temp files... bet it's mail or some similar var thing

Thanks for that
it was a runaway file in the var section
not sure what it was but deleting it made everything work fine again

Is /var not mounted in a ramfs by now?

I seem to remember that failed ipkg installs would sometimes leave shrapnel under /var which used to be mounted on /.
