I am not on Karmic but Oneric and the problem is still present. I went to patch the kernel and started getting Out of disk space error messages from apt, aptitude, and dpkg.
When I looked at df, it was showing 83% usage. I couldn't understand why the disk was "full". Then I found this thread which describes the problem EXACTLY on Lucid - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1454052 When I looked at df -i it was 100%. I had to remove some of the old kernels in order to complete the update. This freed up enough inodes that the update was finally successful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395864 Title: ext4 "no space left on device" problems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/395864/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
