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.

(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! </nori> -- .~. nori @ sccs.swarthmore.edu /V\ http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~nori/jnl/ // \\ @ maenad.net /( )\ www.maenad.net ^`~'^ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
