I'm compiling a big program and I get the following message: /: write failed, file system is full I believe that my root directory is getting full. The /tmp directory is part of my root directory. My root partition is about 8 MB with about 2.2 MB free. So I renamed /tmp /tmp2. Mkdir /usr/tmp then ln -s /usr/tmp /tmp to set a linked directory on the other partition i.e. usr. I did not reboot but I still get the error message. Any hints would be appreciated....Mark Mark Ganter/Univ of Washington/FU-10/Seattle,WA 98195 USA/ganter@u.washington.edu
