Hi !,

I was following instructions at:

http://www.insanitybit.com/2012/05/3...nd-grsecurity/

everything went butter smooth till

The command to compile kernel:
"# make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version "grsec1.0" kernel_image"

ran for about 25 minutes and gave error:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}: Fatal error: can't write drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/.tmp_r600_cs.o: No space left on device
{standard input}: Fatal error: can't close drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/.tmp_r600_cs.o: No space left on device

I have already 8 gb space, but is the WORKING DIRECTORY filesystem>usr>src>linux LOCATED IN RAM and hence resulting in less space or what???

Thanx in advance.

If you don't have manually copied the source directory to a directory that resides in RAM then no, it is not in RAM. Since you have already checked that you have enough space you are possibly running out of inodes. Check that with

Hi,
I was wrong rootfs is showing 100% used.

Since, I was using VMWARE so I reverted back to a snapahot, but would like to know the FILE SYSTEM in linux
which dynamically allots inodes (I have heard XFS & JFS are capable of doing so)??
Is BTRFS is also capable of it??

I have also guessed that since I had activated SELinux to boot and also used GRsecurity & PAX so the folder size on compilation was near 2GB

Same error encountered, Here is the command df and df -i results before compiling the kernel:

Is space & inodes sufficient??
