You have enough space, but do you also have enough inodes? You can use =E2= =80=9Cdf -ih=E2=80=9D to check that. Do you perhaps run into other limits, such as open files (login.conf) or di= sk quotas? Another thing to try is use one or more =E2=80=9C-v=E2=80=9D flags in your = tar command. Maybe that will yield extra details *why* file creation fails. > I looked up the -C option for tar and it uses the next > argument as the top of the tree for the file extractions.
