[SOLVED]Copy fails

[gocool]

Hi,

I am two day old baby to this wonderful distro. As I am discovering new features the more I am liking it.

But right now the bottle neck is...

When I try to copy the files from my external HDD, the copy fails when it reaches around 876 mb. It just gives an error saying that disk if full.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi gocool
That's not much information to go on. Where are you copying to? Another drive? Maybe it's full. Your /home directory?
Unless you've made it persistent, you are copying to RAM, and maybe that's full.

Code: [Select]

watch -t df -h|grep -v loopmight give you some info.

Thank you Rich and Tinypoodle.

My questions:

1. In my boot option i have used tce=/mnt/sda1/tce, so I guess my tce folder is persistent
2. So can I create a folder in there and copy them there?

Hi gocool
Yes, you can create a folder in /mnt/sda1.
