write failed, disk is full

2003-03-30 Thread Jason End
Installing 4.7 through ftp, I get a series of errors
that say things like:
/ write failed. disk is full
failed to create /usr/src disk is full

The disk is new, and certainly isn't full, so I'm
thinking it could be a problem of where I've place the
partitions on the disk.
The disk is a new 120Gb WD1200JB and the relevant
partitions are as such (in this order):
10gb ntfs
3gb freebsd (/)
800mb freebsd (swap)
55gb freebsd (/usr)

Are my freebsd too far into the disk?
thanks, 

J

I had a similar experience, albeit on a much smaller partition. Just to be
sure, check that you haven't run out of inodes somewhere (assuming you can
boot into a console):

df -i

I recently talked with someone on IRC who had just had a similar experience.
I'm wondering if there might be an issue here in that perhaps the default
block/fragment size being used during new installations is too small?
