"Not enough space" message copying files from Windows 7 to Ext3 filesystem
 
Hi

I've been copying a lot of files to my fileserver recently from my Windows 7 environment and this process has gone quite smoothly until so far. I seem to have a problem to copy a few of them though.

This is the situation:

I'm trying to copy this directory to my server, but this results in an "not enough space" error. I am sure I do have enough space though:

Code:

-bash-3.2# df
Filesystem          1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mtdblock2          32768    15356    17412  47% /
none                    128004      136    127868  0% /tmp
/dev/mtdblock3          93184    12864    80320  14% /opt
/tmp/.cemnt/sda5    1915824128 662108548 1156040384  36% /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sda5
/tmp/.cemnt/sdb5    1915824128 784830560 1033318372  43% /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sdb5

It concerns the space on the sda5 and sdb5 ext3 filesystem.

Here is my smb.conf file:

Code:


# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.

As I was able to copy other, larger files, I think it has to be a file-permission error. In my windows environment, I gave myself all permissions on these files, but no avail. I keep getting the same error.

Anyone who has any ideas how this can be fixed?

What is dir /s on that directory?

TobiSGD 05-28-2013 06:56 PM

You will also get the "Not enough space" message if the filesystem runs out of inodes. You can check that with
Code:

df -i

TobySGD, the result of the df i command:

Code:

bash-3.2# df i /dev/sdd1
Filesystem          1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
df: i: can't find mount point

-bash-3.2#

It would be odd that the filesystem would be out of inodes. That would mean I would not be able to copy anything at all, I think.

I however seem to have omitted the problem. The drive from which I was copying from yesterday is an external HD, which hangs on my windows PC. I disconnected the drive and reconnected it on my pogo, which has Linux on it. I mounted the drive and changed the permissions on the folder via chmod. After that i copied the files from the drive to my SMB server, which went perfectly. Remains strange though...

TobiSGD 05-29-2013 02:26 PM

You have not invoked the df command correctly, so it is not showing you the percentage of inodes used.
Anyways, nice that it works now.

GTCG 05-29-2013 03:11 PM

been to quick about it, so I indeed did it wrong. However, when I try df -i, I get:

df: invalid option -- i
BusyBox v1.7.0 (2008-02-26 19:25:17 IST) multi-call binary

Usage: df [-hmk] [FILESYSTEM ...]

Print the filesystem space used and space available

Options control size display:
-h Human readable (e.g. 1K 243M 2G)
-m 1024*1024 blocks
-k 1024 blocks

In Busybox, df -i does not seem to be known. Is there another way I can get info about the inodes?
