| May 29, 2013 at 14:16 | comment | added | Sébastien | I may have taken a shortcut when explaining before that I couldn't create file, I didn't try the "touch /SOME_FILE_NAME" command but I had tried installing some RPM packages <50kB in size and it failed due to lack of disk space so I concluded that I couldn't create any file (since I was expecting my available space to be in the 300~500MB size, failing to create a <BLOCKSIZE> bytes file, or installing a 50kB RPM was the same for me... | |
| May 29, 2013 at 14:13 | comment | added | Sébastien | thanks rush for following up on this. No I have no error, and the file is created. | |
| May 29, 2013 at 14:05 | comment | added | rush | @Sébastien doestouch /test_unix_stackexchange_com command return an error (if yes, please provide the exact output)? | |
| May 29, 2013 at 14:01 | comment | added | Sébastien | Agreed with Hauke Laging, it still doesn't explain why I can't create files as root but at least I know now that I have really run into extreme space congestion, so I have my work cut out for me (expand partition). I previously thought I had high partition usage but still palatable, now I clearly know my patition is way too full. | |

| May 29, 2013 at 13:49 | comment | added | Sébastien | Ouch, such a simple math... I was overly optimistic at the rounding abilities of 'df -h', and making math with concepts more or less understood but not mastered yet.Thanks rush for putting the right numbers into the equation! | |
