No space left on device [solved]

[n3w7]

Hi
I can't download due to error: Unable to resume file: No space left on device.

I have a brand new 2 TB HD that I've both partitioned in Debian and Windows 7. Same result. The HD is in a USB case.
I've tried to use usbmount so it gets mounted automaticly and I've manually mount the device. The hardware is a raspberry pi.

I've tried with another HD and it worked fine. So I thought it was wrongly partitioned or formated. but I tried both in Debian and Windows. I've created a file with "dd".

Code: Select all

dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1k count=1000000

created 1GB file with out problem. checked with "du".

what to do?
print from

Code: Select all

sudo fsdisk -l

thanks x190
But I'm downloading to /dev/sda1/ and it's formatted with NTFS. The file I'm downloading is only 3 Gb.

The download stops after the first time transmission has write to the disk. size writed to sda1 differs from some kb up to 20 mb. I've tried with a download folder (on sda1) with same result.

sorry, the disk is 2TB

When I first partitioned and formatted the disk I did't in win7. I apparently partitioned it with GPT table, it's removed now and partitioned in Linux with

Code: Select all

sudo parted /dev/sda
mklabel msdos
quit

After that I created a partition with cfdisk and formatted with mkntfs.

It didn't help. still got same issue.

my system disk space (my download folder is not on the system disk!) was too small. after giving it some more GB it woked just fine.

I have the same problem on a raspberry running from an 8GB SD, my download folder is on an external 100GB hard disk, but when it don't crash it says that there isn't enough space left. Do you mean that if there isn't all the required space for download on system disk (in my case an SD) it won't write on the usb disk?

I had the same issue, although my disk still had over 700GB free. I did disk check, and it seems to be good again. Disk check via fsck. Was using lvm.
