It's something that happens if you make a mistake in sysinstall and attempt to re-do an earlier step. For unknown reasons, sysinstall then ends up trying to install the system onto the memory-disk it uses as the root filesystem, rather than onto the actual hard drive.

Re: write failed filesystem full on fresh install of 5.4
I'm sorry I was not more specific. /var has 256MB /tmp has 256 / has 256 /usr has 4500MB newfs had been run on everything. ftp was passive. Since base is about 46MB of material, it seems it could put it anywhere. This occurs 3% of the way into the extration of base into / via ftp. I did burn a CD and install off of that in the end and the problem went away. -r On Saturday, 14 May 2005 at 16:19:27 -0400, Jerry McAllister wrote: > > > > It was extracting the distribution into / over ftp and said > > > > /: write failed, filesystem is full > > > > this was after doing a newfs on /.

You are going to have to give more information. What do your file systems look like? Sure I have had that happen when what I was ftp-ing was too big to fit where I was trying to put it. Then I had to either find or make a bigger space or change my mind about what I wantd to move there. Maybe yo udidn't make / big enough or made only a / big enough for stuff that will be in root, but didn't make a separate /usr and /var, etc for things what will go in them. > > I am not subscribed.

write failed filesystem full on fresh install of 5.4
It was extracting the distribution into / over ftp and said /: write failed, filesystem is full this was after doing a newfs on /. Has anyone run into this problem? I am not subscribed. If I should be tell me. If not, put me in the cc-line. -r ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
