eek!

You ran out of room on /dev/hda5!

It's probably best to do a rescue boot and move some of your /tmp space to /
and /var (this looks too small).  It's the easiest option but not ideal.

Subject: umount hdb?


i seem to have screwed something up.

i made a mount point for (the home partition of) my second hard drive,
/mnt/mikan, added it to /etc/fstab, and mounted it.

all was well.

now i decide to move /mnt/mikan to /.  i do so.

i get many errors.

now /mikan has some of the files it should have, but mostly not.
/mnt/mikan has nothing.  i've since trashed the latter.

(yes, i should have umounted first!)

now i can't umount anything:

orange:~# umount /mnt/mikan
error writing /etc/mtab.tmp: No space left on device
orange:~# umount /mikan
error writing /etc/mtab.tmp: No space left on device
orange:~# umount /dev/hdb7
error writing /etc/mtab.tmp: No space left on device

orange:~# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5              93M   93M     0 100% /
/dev/hda1              29M  2.1M   25M   8% /boot
/dev/hda6             6.0G  1.8G  3.8G  32% /usr
/dev/hda7              30G   28G  1.2G  96% /home
/dev/hda8             465M  405M   36M  92% /var
/dev/hda9             465M   17k  440M   1% /tmp
/dev/hdb7              93M   93M     0 100% /mnt/mikan

how do i get the drive to unmount?  i'm confused ...

thanks!
