LS, I was moving some files around with mc over ssh (using the Left/Right "shell link" option of mc), and after a few minutes i got the message "No space left on device (28)". I checked the remote disk, and found out that it had 80GB's of free space, so that couldn't be the problem. I then got problems with various other programs crashing on my machine, and when i was looking for the problem i noticed that there was no space left on my / partition.
After searching around i found that my /tmp/mc-$user held all the files i was copying over ssh, even the files that allready had been transmitted (most likely these files will be removed after i quit mc, but i still had mc running in another terminal). I also tried transferring files to a mounted smb filesystem and over ftp, and noticed that with files transferred to an smb-mount the files are also copied to /tmp/mc-$user first, but with ftp the files are transferred directly. My question is: can this local cashing of files be disabled? It's really annoying that i can only move the same amount of data over ssh and smb then there is free space on my / partition. I am using Midnight commander version 4.6.1a-35.el5, en mc --version gives: GNU Midnight Commander 2006-09-25-14 Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish, smbfs, undelfs With builtin Editor Using system-installed S-Lang library with terminfo database With subshell support as default With support for background operations With mouse support on xterm With internationalization support With multiple codepages support Data types: char 8 int 32 long 32 void * 32 off_t 64 ecs_char 8 Kind regards, Maarten van Kessel _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
