Quick google shows that someone said this was HDD or memory space issue.
However, df -h & free -m doesn't show any HDD & memory space issue

What should I do next to fix this problem?

[bmarkus]

Increase free space for /tce

[curaga]

/dev/sda1                87.1M     82.4M         0 100% /mnt/sda1

You are out of disk space.

Thanks curaga.

I understand now how Tiny Core works. It's little bit different from other Linux distro, but the best part is ... it's the smallest & lightest distro I ever found.

For each extensions installed, it will be kept at /dev/loop<number> or /tmp/tcloop/<extension name>
Example:
/dev/loop0 or /tmp/tcloop/ncurses

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ mount | grep /dev/loop0
/dev/loop0 on /tmp/tcloop/ncurses type squashfs (ro,relatime)
tc@box:~$
This VM box has 12.8 GB HDD space (/dev/sda) and it has been partitioned to /dev/sda1 & /dev/sda2

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 12.8 GB, 12884901888 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1566 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/sda1   *           1          12       96358+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2              13        1567    12486522  83 Linux
tc@box:~$
All this information lead me to the next question ...

1. Why only /dev/sda1 being used and not /dev/sda2?
2. What should I do to fully utilized /dev/sda2 too?

[bmarkus]

1) TC mounts only the partition where the /tce directory found, all others left intact

2) Mount it either manually or in a boot script, see /opt/bottlocal.sh
