Not enough disk space with download DVD

akihandyman · 04-25-2007, 08:38 AM

I got 15GB home directory and try download Mandriva 2007.1 but wget finished with message that there was not enough space in disk(500MB of data in the directory so actually 14.5GB).

What filesystem do you use for /home? And are you sure you were not accidentally downloading to another directory, maybe the desktop?

Jornalized FS,Mandriva 2006.I am just try downloading Mandriva 2007.0 powerpack by BitTorent.I failed to download 2007.1 about 3 times.2007.1 does not resume with Wget and BitTorent were very slow.But I got good connection with the Powerpack.

can you please post the result of the following commands:
df -h
fdisk -l
du -sh /*
cd <directory where the download is going>
pwd -P

(that's the capital letter P for the flag after pwd)

These commands should tell you where it's going and what the disk space usage looks like.

I am downloading with BitTorrent gui and it is set up to download to Desktop,and I can not change that setting.

Sorry, I was a bit confused there. Desktop is still your home directory so that shouldn't make any difference.

What is it that you are trying to download exactly, the cd(s) or the dvd?

Okay, it looks like you should have plenty of space, and as long as you are doing the wget in /home/<username> you should be fine. The one thing I'm not sure of is disk quotas. If you have disk quotas set up on this system then you will need to make sure that they are not limiting you. However, I doubt that by default you would have quotas set up.
