Getting "E514: write Error (file system full ?)" error
 

Hi,

I am new to Linux operating system. I have installed Ubuntu in my laptop. I am getting the following error, when I try to create and write some content into the file in my home directory.

"E514: write Error (file system full ?)"

I am using ubuntu operating system in my laptop.

Note: I use Dual Booting system (Windows Vista and the Ubuntu)
I have made a new partition for this OS (18.5 Gb).
While installing the operating system, I have exported the windows folders.

so I believe this might have occupied all the memory. if it is so ho w to unexport the windows stuff.

Thanks,
Senthil

when I run the 'df' command; I am getting following results.

File System 1k-Blocks used Available %use Mounted On
/dev/sda7 18239964 17379584 0 100% /



so I believe Windows documents have been occupied the total space. so how to demount the windows documents and make use of the memory configured for the Linux system.

Before jumping to conclusions, I'd recommend the du cmd http://linux.die.net/man/1/du to find what the problem really is.
Try a few options, and post the results (& cmd used) if you don't understand them.

Thank you so much for your info
I have executed the du command, it lists all the directories and files recursively. I came to know that the files which was there in my windows "Music" Folder are listing here, these files occupies all the space.

I have removed those files and tied, I could create new files in my home directory. Still I couldnot unmount those directories, could you please help me on unmounting those directories.

Thank you again
