[SOLVED] I haven't free space for user

Hello, I have a trivial error. But I saw more forum with google, but that never finished.
Maybe you can easily.
So I have an external partition with ext3 I want mount for if I'm user, I can rw that. How can I do?
Do you?

Re: [SOLVED] I haven't free space for user

How do you mount it - with 'mount' or with thunar or ...? The wiki should help.

Re: [SOLVED] I haven't free space for user

Maybe one

sudo mount -t ext3 -o rw,user,noauto /dev/sdb6 /media/linux
drwxrwxrwx 21 root root 4096 okt   25 19.43 /media/linux/
df -h
/dev/sdb6                                               131G  125G     0 100% /media/linux

• mc
  read only

• sudo mc
  rw mode

Why?

Re: [SOLVED] I haven't free space for user

'drwxrwxrwx' mean full access. Have you tried writing to that location?

Re: [SOLVED] I haven't free space for user

Isnt more space on destination. I get this message. Why?

I had run:

fsck.ext3 -yfv /dev/sdb6

But I have same problem.

Thanks for you ask me.

Re: [SOLVED] I haven't free space for user

What's the output of

df -hi /media/linux

?

Re: [SOLVED] I haven't free space for user

/dev/sdb6           17M  152K    17M    1% /media/linux

But you need to know I used before the Ext2Fsd-0.51.exe application. Maybe that did for me a problem?

Re: [SOLVED] I haven't free space for user

I'm not sure, maybe it's some reserved space? IIRC the filesystem takes 5% for its accounting purposes by default.

Re: [SOLVED] I haven't free space for user

But If I use sudo mc, I have space. Maybe I need change back to ext2?

Setting filesystem feature 'ext_attr' not supported.

Oh sit. Anybody know?

Re: [SOLVED] I haven't free space for user

Have you read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … ge_Devices ?

When pasting code, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and more convenient to scroll through.

Re: [SOLVED] I haven't free space for user

Check out the -m option to tune2fs, which sets the reserved-blocks-percentage for the FS - the percentage of blocks reserved to the super user, which is 5% by default.

Presumably, root has filled the partition completely, and 5G worth of deleted user data is not enough to get under the 5% limit to allow for new data to be written by users.

As this partition is used for /home you might as well turn the feature off, as root should not need to have space reserved in that area of the filesystem.

tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sda1

should give regular users access to the reserved blocks.

Thank's for Daniel K.

Yup, that's what I meant about the reserved space.
