Jun 29 17:13:10 <m4d__> hi anyone here?
Jun 29 17:14:09 <m4d__> having probs with my slug
Jun 29 17:14:31 <DrJ> what do you need?
Jun 29 17:15:16 <m4d__> well i flashed the slugos and trying to copy it to the hd
Jun 29 17:15:43 <m4d__> -/sbin/turnup: /sbin/turnup: 942: cannot create /tmp/flashdisk.867/linuxrc.new: No space left on device
Jun 29 17:15:56 <m4d__> this is what is says after it moves the logmessages...
Jun 29 17:16:18 <m4d__> i have a lot of space... i created a 2gb partition
Jun 29 17:16:52 <m4d__> further it saysthis: turnup: boot_rootfs: failed to write /tmp/flashdisk.867/linuxrc.new
Jun 29 17:16:58 <m4d__> anyone who can help me out?
Jun 29 17:17:20 <scant> are you trying to unsling your drive?
Jun 29 17:18:14 <m4d__> what do you mean by "unslung" :o i flashed the slugOS
Jun 29 17:19:16 <m4d__> SlugOSBE-4.8-beta-firmware
Jun 29 17:19:31 <mwester> m4d__:  I think there's something not quite right about the partitioning on that HD.  What was the line you gave to turnup specifically?
Jun 29 17:19:47 <DrJ> did you follow this m4d__: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/InitialisingDisks
Jun 29 17:19:58 <m4d__> yes this is what i'm doing
Jun 29 17:20:12 <m4d__> i typed: turnup disk -i /dev/sda1 -t ext3
Jun 29 17:20:29 <m4d__> i created the partition to be 2gig for the root-fs
Jun 29 17:20:38 <mwester> Ok.  What type of device is /dev/sda?  
Jun 29 17:21:07 <m4d__> it is an 3,5" ide hdd connected via usb
Jun 29 17:21:31 <mwester> Ok, what's the output from "fdisk -l /dev/sda" ?
Jun 29 17:21:58 <m4d__> this /dev/sda1               1         512     2110945   83  Linux
Jun 29 17:22:06 <m4d__> this /dev/sda2             513         768     1055488   82  Linux swap
Jun 29 17:22:17 <m4d__> adn this  /dev/sda3             769        1021     1043119   83  Linux
Jun 29 17:22:39 <m4d__> the hdd is about 4gb total size
Jun 29 17:22:58 <DrJ> dude, 4gb ... obviously the disk is old
Jun 29 17:23:03 <DrJ> sure its still in good shape
Jun 29 17:23:09 <m4d__> yes really but it should work ;)
Jun 29 17:23:19 <mwester> Did you write a new file system on /dev/sda1 with mkfs.ext3, or is there perhaps other data still on it?
Jun 29 17:23:39 <m4d__> nope created new fs on sd1 and sda3
Jun 29 17:24:11 <m4d__> is there a way i can check the files or the used space?
Jun 29 17:24:24 <mwester> Sure.  Just mount it:  mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
Jun 29 17:24:38 <DrJ> my computer I had about 5 years ago only had a 4GB hard drive ... oddly, back then that was enough for me ... now I can barely get by with the 750GB I have
Jun 29 17:24:38 <m4d__> then cd /mnt ?
Jun 29 17:25:04 <mwester> yep
Jun 29 17:25:53 <m4d__> well there are some files created a few mins ago
Jun 29 17:26:16 <m4d__> i guess it was when i tried to move the fs
Jun 29 17:32:33 <mwester> what does df say, then?
Jun 29 17:33:24 <m4d__> df?
Jun 29 17:33:42 <m4d__> what do you mean?
Jun 29 17:33:58 <mwester> The output of the "df" command
Jun 29 17:34:27 <m4d__> tx
Jun 29 17:34:29 <m4d__> -/dev/mtdblock4            6528      6428       100  98% /

Jun 29 17:35:07 <m4d__> -tmpfs                    15188         0     15188   0% /dev/shm
Jun 29 17:35:13 <m4d__> -/dev/sda1              2077712     77416   1894752   4% /mnt
Jun 29 17:35:16 <m4d__> thats it ;)
Jun 29 17:38:43 <mwester> Ok.  Well, notice that your / partition is 100% full.  I'm betting that you may have miskeyed something in the turnup command, or possibly you may have been doing something before you attempted the turnup command that filled the root filsystem.
Jun 29 17:39:32 <mwester> There is no recovery other than to shut it down, reflash a new copy of SlugOS on the device, boot it up and use mkfs.ext3 to re-create a new empty filesytem on /dev/sda1, then do the turnup command again.
Jun 29 17:39:57 <mwester> Don't do anything like "ipkg update" or install any software before you do the turnup.
Jun 29 17:40:32 <m4d__> ok i'll try tomorrow... thx a lot in advance :)
Jun 29 17:40:56 <m4d__> wont mkfs.ext3 clean the partition?
Jun 29 17:41:10 <m4d__> just deleting an creating a new one with fdisk?
Jun 29 17:47:18 <mwester> mkfs.ext3 writes a new filesystem to the disk; fdisk just writes a new partition table to the disk *without* modifying (or even marking as invalid!) any filesystem that might exist.
Jun 29 17:47:55 <mwester> So if you run fdisk, but do not run mkfs.ext3 and/or mkswap as appropriate afterwards, you can run into so spectacular filesystem corruptions later on.
Jun 29 17:50:21 <m4d__> so i thank a lot
Jun 29 17:50:31 <m4d__> ill try
