Re: no space left on device

Here's the output of "df -m":

[postgres - DB]$ df -m .
Filesystem           1M-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
-                        63328     55308      4803  93% /

Thx for the info.

:OK, and what does "df -m" show? That will display disk sizes and free space
:remaining. Your error is that you have run out of disk space.

:Well - it's 32MB (2 x 16MB as you show below).

:in the source and re-compiling.
