 | View Full Version : some error dektong 10-10-2001, 06:58 PM can you do 'df' on your shell and give the output here? I think more than one partition on your HD is full since tar won't save files into your swap partition ... cheers, :beer: mithilesh 10-10-2001, 07:27 PM The following are the output of df command on my machine FileSystem Use MountedOn -------------- ----------- ------------------- dev/hda7 100% / dev/hda1 7% /boot dev/hda9 9% /home dev/hda5 39% /usr dev/hda6 23% /var dektong 10-10-2001, 07:36 PM that's not too good ... your root partition (/) is full ... (BTW, This is not your swap partition ...). All the other partitions look healthy, makes me wonder how come your root parttition is full .... Try to remove some un-necessary files. And if needed, use symbolic link to move some directory into your other partition (/home would be a good choice) cheers, :beer: mithilesh 10-10-2001, 07:54 PM Thanks for your help.Now I am trying to move some files from root partitions to /home. |
