No free space on disk, but there is?

Recirqie · 02-04-2005, 05:44 AM

SuSE 9.0 Konqueror reports that the disk has 0Byte free space out og 1.8GB, but there is at least 100MB free? Whats up?

This what it shows:
Free space on /: 0B/1.8GB (100% used)

Thanks, but df reports the same. What happened was that during the use of YOU it ran full. I have cleared at least 100MB, but the system still seem to think it is full. But even so I can write a document and save it. However, squid also thinks there is no more room for it's logs, and so fails during startup. It there a flag somewhere that is stuck at "full"?

but whenever i cleaned the space
it went fine
i did not have any problem with that

I use xfce and thunar reported 49GB free but I ran dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/zerofile to wipe unallocated space and the resulting zerofile was 56GB. Go figure. They both used capitol GB so it shouldn't be a gigabit gigabyte issue. You know rounding 1024 to 1000 like Microsoft did.
