Subject: OpenBSD 4.4 installation error: write failed; file system full
Date: Tuesday, November 4, 2008 - 6:32 am

I've download and burned the 4.4 ISO from a local mirror and trying to

upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 on i386. After the installer does the fsck

-fp, I get the following error:


uid 0 on /: file system full

/: write failed; file system full

cp: /tmp/hosts: No space left on device


I've also tried the 4.3 base CD and I get the same error. This has

never happened before. Is there something I'm doing wrong?


Here's my df -h output:


/dev/rd0a 1.7M 1.7M 38.5k 98% /

/dev/sd0a 68.9g 30.8g 34.7g 47% /mnt


Thanks for any help.
