Hey,
I downloaded the files on my Desktop, switched with cd in the terminal in the Desktop directory and then ran
The terminal tells me:

no space left on Device... But my Mainpartition has 550 MB space left. And the Home-partition is on another sector of my HD.
Is 550MB not enough?
I am confused..

Yes, you are out of space.
To be more precise, probably you are out of inodes on your filesystem. You can check it with the command:
Think of inodes as "indexes" for files: every file needs one inode in order to be "tracked" on your disk.
So even if physically there is free space, the filesystem cannot index any new file because there are no more free inodes.

Ohh, okay... How can I solute that problem?
May I use GParted and then make my "home-Partition" smaller?
Or how can I do that without loosing my files?
Thank you for telling me, what the problem was:D

Yes, gparted should be able to resize partitions, but it usually requires a lot of time to shrink a partition.
Probably it's faster (and I'd say more safe) to backup all your data and recreate the partitions.

But then I have to configure my whole Ubuntu-system, haven't I? I never understood how to backup a Ubuntu-system (i only know how to backup data, but not an operating system.)
So, I dont know, how to backup the whole system...
I try Gparted, first. Then we'll see...^^

Okay. Gparted now resizes my Filesystem-Partition (everything except /home) from 8 GB to 15 GB.
I hope, that the updates work, later on.
Now my question is: Do I have to install these two packages you mentioned some posts before? Or do I have to download other packages, after the resizing?

Hey VoRia,
yeah I made it!
After GParted resized the Root-Partition everything worked well
Thank you very much
:D:D
I thought I had to reinstall everything, that wouldn't be great^^
Byee

New kernel 2.6.31-12 on repository (based on vanilla 2.6.31.2).

is it possible to disable the ext4 journalization in this kernel ?
thank you so much.
Re: [NC10] Kernel 2.6.31

It should be.
Try to add the 'noload' mount option to your '/etc/fstab'.

noload and data=writeback added to fstab but kjournald2 is always in action.

'noload' should be enough.
Reboot the system to make sure to mount partition(s) with the new option.
Then you can check if journal has been disabled in your dmesg.
Use a command like this one:
Code: Select all
dmesg | grep EXT4-fs | grep journal

dmesg | grep EXT4-fs | grep journal :

mount :

Something to change in the menu.lst maybe ?

Just checked on my NC10: for some reason the 'noload' option is ignored for root partition (/), while it works good for any other ext4 partition.
Well, another solution is to use the 'tune2fs' tool in order to force the journal off for the partition.
'tune2fs' can be used only on unmounted partitions, so you need to use a live distro to do that.
Use a command like this one:
Code: Select all
sudo tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sdxx
where '/dev/sdxx' is your unmounted root partition.
