[I was going to post this to -questions but figured that most discussion of the ata problems took place on -stable and most interested people would probably be reading -stable] Hi everyone! I've got a strange problem installing 4.6.2-RELEASE on an ageing K6-233 system. Searching the archives and googling hasn't turned up anything useful. On first boot of the 4.6.2 floppies I started getting the "READ_BIG" errors on the systems cd-rom drive. Fortunately, I had no plan to use the drive, so I simply disconnected it, and a subsequent boot went flawlessly. However, during an FTP install from ftp.uk.freebsd.org when it reaches 'chunk 4' the system displays a message saying "Write failure on transfer (wrote -1 bytes of 240260 bytes)" and "/: write failed, filesystem is full" VTY1 shows : . . bin/ls bin/mkdev bin/mv pid 72 (cpio), uid 0 on /: filesystem is full /stand/cpio: write error: No space left on drive /stand/gunzip: failed fwrite A quick /stand/df on VTY4 shows 101% capacity on /dev/md0c mounted on / but just 1% capacity on /dev/ad0s1a mounted on /mnt. I've never delved this far into a sysinstall installation before, but it sounds like it is failing on unpacking files into a memory disk? What could have caused this problem? A reboot and going through the installation process again brought exactly the same failure in exactly the same place. Many thanks for any pointers and help. Andrew.
