Hi,
I tried to post this before, but due to mailer problems I'm not sure
it worked ( I didn't see either the post or any responses), so I'll
try again. Apologies to anyone who saw this before and responded.
I setup a X-user installation on a 1029MB Quantum Empire 1080-S with
an Adaptec AHA2940 SCSI pci controller and everything (ie disk usage
was fine). I then added the ghostscript/a2ps stuff to try and get
the printer working and that was when I ran into problems.
When I setup the system I allocated 823MB for FreeBSD as:
swap 100MB
/ 40MB
/usr 583MB
/home 100MB
During the pkg_manage-add I receive the message about no free space,
and when I did a df I got
mount 512 blks used avail capacity
sd0a / 79900 30900 42608 42%
sd0s2e /home 200796 84 184648 0%
sd0s2f /usr 1176452 1089076 -6744 101%
procfs 8 8 0 100%
I also checked the inodes and there are available inodes in each file system.
( 44% free for /usr, 78% for / ).
Now, unless this is some new math that I don't understand, I should have
87376 free blocks or about 44K available. This would also make more sense
to me if this occurred when I did the intital system setup, but at that
point everything look correct, and the system ran without any problems.
Does anyone have any idea about what is causing this problem, and how to
fix it.
Also is there any source for the amount of space required in each file system
for the various parts of the system??
thanks in advance
Jim Ballantine
