I installed Gentoo using the handbook, and the root partition has |
| 2 |
4094951424 bytes (a 4 GB USB pendrive), and "mke2fs -j /dev/sda2" as on |
| 3 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=4#doc_chap4 |
| 4 |
created me a partition with only 249984 inodes. That was REALLY SILLY of |
| 5 |
him, because: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
przehyba ~ # df -i /dev/sda2 |
| 8 |
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on |
| 9 |
/dev/sda2 249984 249739 245 100% / |
| 10 |
przehyba ~ # |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I ran out of inodes! Now it cries that the disk ran out of space when I |
| 13 |
try to compile anything. I did already get rid of /usr/share/doc/ as |
| 14 |
there are many small files there, and purged /var/tmp/ too, but again |
| 15 |
emerge quickly fills all possible inodes, and fails. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Why did he did so little inodes? On another machine, which is Debian and |
| 18 |
about 5 GB disk, I have 752192 inodes and even on a 3.2 GB one 376096 |
| 19 |
inodes, so here why did I get so little by default? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
What can I do now, besides starting the installation over again from the |
| 22 |
beggining, which would be 2 days of work lost! |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Any other places besides /usr/share/doc and /var/tmp/ I can look to |
| 25 |
recover a lot of inodes? Can someone fix mke2fs so it doesn't do that to |
| 26 |
anyone again in the future? |
