df can't see size and usage of rootfs - MSI Wind U100 - TC 6.2 x86

(1/6) > >>

Misalf:
Since 6.0 I can't see the current size / usage of  rootfs  "/" .
I noticed this isn't working anymore since Conky under TC5.x and below was able to display that the usage increase if I copy lots of data  to  /tmp . Not so under 6.x.

I didn't gave it much attention, sorry. I thought I'd have to fix my conky config but never did.

Recently I prepared a USB flash drive to boot Tiny Core for use on other computers with the exact same setup, extensions, even the same backup file.

On those computers I tested the USB flash drive on, Conky and df show the usage of rootfs correctly.
It's just my box that's acting strange. Kinda old MSI Wind U100 netbook.
This is also true If I boot with  base norestore  boot codes.

By the way, the pc speaker doesn't work either.
Can anyone tell me where I should start digging?
Might I need to recompile kernel and/or modules with some special netbook settings (if something like that exists).

You are not running a standard core system.  You are loading multiple initrds, and now for some reason all your RAM has been allocated to your tmpfs.
Boot a stock core and see if the problem persists.

curaga:
Results from stock TinyCore 6.2 iso:



Only busybox df is expected to work. Try making sure there is only one busybox in the initrds, and it is the current version.

edit: It's not clear if you tested the working USB stick on the netbook, or if the netbook results are from the hd/ssd install?
