Kindly help I am using CYGWIN_NT-5.1 p9 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) no space left on device centos 2007-12-14 19:21 i686 Cygwin on winXP See the problem reporting guidelines here: Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html How does it work for you without 'rsh' in the picture? It worked fine for me with a file of several hundred MB locally and through 'ssh' (i.e. 'ssh localhist cat /tmp/foo'). I don't use 'rsh'. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

I tested as root, e.g. # echo test >a ; cat a test it http://serverfault.com/questions/73051/no-space-left-on-device-df-shows-discrepancy works as expected; however as a normal user, I still get the error: $ echo test >a ; cat a bash: echo: write error: No space left on device The root home directory where I conducted the positive test and my home directory are on the same partition.The fstab entry is: /dev/hda1 / ext3 noatime,defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 linux share|improve this question edited Oct 9 '09 at 20:59 Benoit 2,3611113 asked Oct 9 '09 at 18:46 mark 84331328 add a comment| 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 32 down vote accepted Most filing systems reserve a certain percentage for root, so you can still log in as root and solve out of diskspace issues. Usually this is 5%. 9GB is roughly 5% of 183GB, so this would make sense. You can see how much is reserved using tune2fs: # tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep -i reserved Reserved block count: 936488 Reserved GDT blocks: 1019 Reserved blocks uid: 0 (user root) Reserved blocks gid: 0 (group root) You can modify it using # tune2fs -m 3 /dev/sda1 tune2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009) Setting reserved blocks percentage to 3% (561893 blocks) On modern large drives 5% is probably a little excessive, and you probably want to set it lower. You don't want to set it to zero. share|improve this answer an
