TCL on VMWare with Diskspace
« on: December 19, 2010, 11:31:07 AM »
Hi.

I am new to TCL.

I am trying to create amazon instance of TCL with a disksize of 1GB and my TCL is installed on VMware player.

When I do the following command dd bs=65536 if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdd i get a message saying tmpfs has been filled up.

How do I give TCL a bigger hard disk space so that it can create a base image of atleast 600 MB.

Thanks.

Do you actually have a /dev/hdd, or is it creating a large file in your tmpfs root file system?

Besides from that (which is the major issue), to dd a partition to a drive doesn't sound quite right either, IMHO.
